I agree with most of what you said. However, many of the alleged
transgressors were provided steroids by legal prescribers of drugs.
That makes it legal (for them). Major league baseball did not have a
policy about steroids until just a few years ago. Nobody should be
addressing anything from before then.
Having said that, anybody who testifies should tell the truth, even if
the hearing should not be held. Perjury is a serious offense.
Politicians should remember that, as they are frequent violators.

Congress does have better things to do today, but one thing we all need
to remember is that steroids are illegal unless prescribed by a doctor.
And when I say doctor, I don't mean a dentist that some of these
"professionals" found on the internet. It doesn't matter if MLB didn't
have a policy in place to test for steroid use (and more recently HGH)
when these acts were alleged to have taken place. Illegal drug use is
illegal drug use and these people should know better. Using performance
enhancing drugs to gain a competitive edge is a disgrace. It is a
disgrace to all athletes who do it the right way instead of trying to
take short cuts. I hope every wanna be athlete in high school and
college is paying very close attention to what can happen. Aside from
the legal implications, these kinds of drugs have very adverse side
effects one of which is death!
I am officially off my sports related soap box, for now...
