	Broad steroid policy pursued - The Boston Globe
		Baseball's recent crackdown on steroid abusers may be too little too late to prevent Congress from trying to impose a sweeping anti-doping program on all major professional sports.
		As the House committee investigating steroid abuse yesterday asked seven other professional sports organizations to provide complete histories of their drug testing policies, one of its members, US Representative Stephen Lynch, indicated the requests would lead to at least one more hearing as the panel prepares for possible federal intervention.
		"We're trying to come up with a broad policy to cover all professional sports, as well as the USA Track and Field Association and possibly the NCAA," Lynch said after addressing about 250 high school athletes in a leadership program hosted by the Center for the Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University.

		WASHINGTON - Athletes in five major professional sports leagues would be subjected to an unforgiving steroid-testing regimen under terms of legislation to be introduced next week in the House of Representatives.
		As two days of congressional hearings ended, lawmakers said yesterday that the stakes are too high - and the problems too entrenched - to allow even well-intentioned leagues to handle the sports "cheating" issue themselves.
		NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue has testified that drug testing in his sport "is not a problem that needs federal legislation in order to be fixed."
