A-Rod Won't Be Going To Capitiol Hill

It was reported earlier today that Alex Rodriguez might have to testify before congress, but it turns out that he won't be headed to the Capitol Hill after all.

From the AP:

Alex Rodriguez won't be appearing on Capitol Hill anytime soon.

The new chairman of the congressional committee that asked Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro about steroids in baseball in recent years said Tuesday he does not think lawmakers need to hear from Rodriguez in the aftermath of an admission he used performance-enhancing drugs from 2001-03.

"The American people need leaders who will focus on stemming job losses and getting credit to flow in the marketplace before hearing from yet another person who cheated both himself and the game of baseball," said House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chairman Edolphus Towns, a Democrat from New York.

Towns does plan to monitor baseball's drug-testing policy and did not rule out the possibility of hearings down the road.

Good, now maybe they can spend their time trying to fix the country.
