The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform wanted A-Roid to come to Congress to repeat his admission – that he used to abuse steroids – but the Committee has since changed its mind, giving A-Roid the good ol’ “We’re very disappointed in you” talk.
They also said that Washington has bigger fish to fry!
A statement from Representative Edolphus Towns reads:
“With unemployment in this country approaching double digits and our constituents’ very livelihoods being threatened by the nation’s economic woes, I intend to focus on passing President Obama’s Economic Recovery legislation to get Americans back to work to fix our sinking economy. The American people need leaders who will focus on stemming job losses and getting credit to flow in the marketplace before hearing from yet another person who cheated both himself and the game of baseball.
“The Committee began this investigation in the face of a weak and ineffective drug testing policy that compromised the integrity of Major League Baseball. Now that baseball is implementing one of the most comprehensive drug testing policies in major league sports, I look forward to monitoring how well the policy is working to ensure the credibility of our national pastime.”
Ouch!
They’d also like A-Roid to “turn a negative into positive” by joining anti-drug education campaigns for kids.
It’s the least he could do!
