Fehr's Idea

Don Fehr proposed a good idea during Congressional steroid hearings today:

Fehr did suggest one way in which Congress could help sports leagues: require that commercially sold human growth hormone contain a chemical marker that would be detectable in a urine test.

This wouldn't be perfect, of course. Players might be able to buy it outside the country with no marker. At least Don is looking for a workable solution.

Also, to show the level of Congressional intelligence, they think pro wrestling is a sport:

The chairman also said he was "exceptionally and extremely disappointed" that World Wrestling Entertainment chairman Vince McMahon was the only witness to decline the subcommittee's invitation to testify Wednesday.

I think it is the other way around - Congress knows Baseball is actually entertainment. Also, a chemical marker is a bad idea as it is not difficult to obtain "spiked" HGH and separate out the marker.

Whatever...! Am I the only one who thinks the Gov't is fabricating crimes now with all thier investigations. No real truths have been established yet. I'm not protecting Clemens. I think he juiced. I just think the gov't needs to stay out of this.
