Okay here's what I think....although probably no one cares.

I feel like steriods in baseball is cheating just as much as the next guy, but speaking from experience larger muscles don't gaurentee(sp) a .300 avg. Hitting a major league fastball or any of the other 10 pitches thrown these days takes a lot more than a juiced up body. But again, cheating is cheating.

But congressional hearings, come on! For example, this past week in NASCAR a few drivers including the race winner were caught for some illegal modifications to their rides. Now a lower hood or whatever they did will insure that your car is much faster and handles better than your opponents. Their punishments....court cases?...no...congress...no...front page of sports section...maybe. But really 25 points and a few hours of mention on the hardcore racing forums is pretty petty for blatently cheating in sports.
I still think that MLB should have much stiffer penalties.
