Drugs in Sports Hearing

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress will take yet another look at drugs in sports Wednesday, with a hearing that will feature top names from all four major professional leagues, the NCAA and the U.S. Olympic Committee.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, NBA commissioner David Stern and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman are scheduled to testify Wednesday before a House subcommittee that has been working separately from the committee that held last week's high-profile hearing featuring Roger Clemens.

Also on the witness list are players' union executive directors Donald Fehr (baseball), Gene Upshaw (NFL), William Hunter (NBA) and Paul Kelly (NHL).

The House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection has scheduled the hearing on "Drugs in Sports: Compromising the Health of Athletes and Undermining the Integrity of Competition."
