hypercrites

I haven't paid much attention to this story because it doesn't really affect public policy in a significant way but what puzzles me is why he was called to testify before congress anyway.  It seems to me that he should have been called before a baseball commission if the commission was interested in it.  Congress? Why?  I suspect it was for show.  Clemens taking steroids didn't affect me personally at all.  The game of baseball was sullied to some degree by his actions but I don't think it is the job of congress to ensure that private businesses and institutions remain stain free.
