30, 2006, baseball commissioner Bud Selig, against the advice of many of his closest advisers, knew he had to take the risk of springing open the lid to the Pandora's box of the sport. It had been eight years since an Associated Press reporter saw andro in Mark McGwire's locker (the moment Selig described as his epiphany when it came to performance-enhancing drugs in baseball), five years since Selig pushed through a drug-testing program for minor leaguers, and three years since the major leagues adopted such tests. But when SI published an excerpt from Game of Shadows that March, yet another signal that the story and the discovery of steroids in baseball were not going to stop, Selig knew baseball could not keep running from its past.Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:01:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/david_epstein/01/15/steroids.congress/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/david_epstein/01/15/steroids.congress/index.htmlWASHINGTON -- Major League Baseball is toeing the foul line. Members of the congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform are still far from convinced that MLB can wage a successful, long-term war on performance-enhancing drugs, but the consensus among committee members following Tuesday's hearing was that they heard just enough so that legislative intervention will not be immediately forthcoming.Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:55:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/michael_mccann/01/15/cong.hearing.qa/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/michael_mccann/01/15/cong.hearing.qa/index.htmlBaseball commissioner Bud Selig, union head Donald Fehr and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell testified about baseball's steroids issue before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Tuesday.
