Baseball Players to be Subpoenaed by Congress
T.J. Quinn, a reporter for the New York Daily News, has the scoop on this major development.
Congressional leaders are ready to play hardball with Major League Baseball players who don't want to talk about steroids.It's about time someone started to take some action to curtail the use of illegal steroids in baseball.
Congressional sources told the Daily News yesterday that players who said last week they were not interested in testifying before the House Government Reform Committee in a March 17 hearing on steroid use will be issued subpoenas as soon as today.
Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire and Jason Giambi are among the seven current and former stars that will be called to testify about steroids and their role in baseball. Curt Schilling, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Frank Thomas also were invited last week to testify. Canseco and Thomas have said they will appear and will not be subpoenaed. The other five can all expect to get one.
