Congress talking to players about Palmeiro

[ironman]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional investigators looking into whether Rafael Palmeiro lied under oath are interviewing players who know him, including a Colorado outfielder suspende this year for steroids. Palmeiro testified to the House Government Reform Committee in March that he never had used steroids. The Baltimore Orioles slugger, one of four players in history with 3,000 hits and 500 homers, was suspended by Major League Baseball for 10 days in August for failing a drug test. A congressional source familiar with the committee's work, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said Monday that several active players have spoken or will speak with the committee. That source would not identify who was interviewed.

I guess the egos of those who were pointed at won't allow them to consider the (lack of) importance of the issue.
