Rob Garibaldi, who played for the University of Southern California, was 24 when he shot himself on Oct. 1, 2002, and his parents also think his death was related to steroids.

    Cessional Committee will include these parents as well as a gaggle of Medical Experts on the...

    *** UPDATED ***

    Well, Congress has gone and subpoened all of the 11 Baseball players to testify before the Steroid Commission... MLB thinks their new get tough policy is enough to control Steroid use in Ball, but apparently the US Congress disagrees... I am starting to think the Congress should be doing more about the Pseudo Fascist reime that is slowly building (ie politics)... that IS their job isn't it?
