• I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
  On March 17, 2005, the Committee on Government Reform (the “Committee”)
  held a hearing entitled, “Restoring Faith in America’s Pastime: Evaluating Major League
  Baseball’s Efforts to Eradicate Steroid Use,” to gauge the reality of steroid use in Major
  League Baseball (MLB), to examine MLB’s new drug testing policy, and to educate
  America’s youth on the health ramifications of steroid use. Several current and former
  baseball players were subpoenaed to appear at the hearing. Baltimore Orioles baseball
  player Rafael Palmeiro appeared before the Committee and testified under oath that he
  had never used anabolic steroids. On August 1, 2005, MLB announced that Mr. Palmeiro
  had violated MLB’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program (“MLB’s testing
  program”) and would be suspended for 10 days. It was later confirmed that Mr. Palmeiro
  had tested positive for the steroid stanozolol.
