I don't get the baseball thing either. Steroid use alone is arguably a federal issue (I'm sure there are some that would disagree), but trying to regulate steroid use in one industry (baseball) is silly.

Right, but it's already illegal so why is Congress involved? Shouldn't it now be up to law enforcement?

Actually, MLB is one of the few businesses (If not the ONLY business) to have an official anti-trust exemption so it is the Federal Govt's business what goes on in baseball. Not saying I agree with it, just explaining the Senators rationale.

Also, McCain is a huge boxing fan and has thus been involved with the regulation of the sport in the past as well.
