For all the talk of government interference in private matters comes word that the Congressional Government Reform Committee is planning to go after the NFL on the matter of Steroids.

Henry Waxman, a member of the US House Committee on Government Reform that conducted a probe of steroids in Major League Baseball earlier this month, said he wants to expand the inquiry to include the American football teams as well.

“The reports that football players have used steroids raise important issues about the effectiveness of the NFL drug-testing policy,” Waxman said in a statement.

“The committee should examine the new allegations as part of its investigation into steroid use in sports.”

Does this now seem important? Did it ever?

Hank’s down with it.
