Congressional hearings on steroid use in sports
Congressional hearings on steroid use in sports are official investigations where lawmakers examine the extent and impact of performance-enhancing drug use among athletes. They gather evidence, hear testimony from athletes, experts, and officials, and discuss the legal, ethical, and health-related issues involved. The goal is to understand how steroids affect sports integrity and public health, and to consider potential legislation or regulations to prevent misuse. These hearings promote transparency and inform policy decisions to ensure fair competition and athlete safety.
