Enough is enough...

What makes the legislative branch actually believe that they can set this sort of policy for a private corporation?

"There's got to be some kind of legislation that will absolutely test and punish professional athletes that use performance-enhancing drugs," McCain said.

What happened to the old fashioned Republicans that used to believe that less government was a good thing?

McCain said pro leagues would be expected to contribute money to USADA if it were to oversee their testing, but "there may be a need for some federal funding as well."

Booyah... we might even get the chance to pay for it without actually buying tickets to an event.

Really...what right does the government have to put their noses into professional sports?

Our government is out of control..it has gotten out of hand.

Something must be done.

This is such BS.

We have the threat of terrorism, illegals flooding the nation, a national budget out of controll, a gas crissis and these avacados are worried about ****ing sports????

McCain is a huge moderate republican. Any chance he can make the news or be in the camera with his "maverick" ways is what he is all about.

Let the league tend to its own. Seems they are finally starting to.

From what I've read, they expect this bill to sail through easily.

McCain alone can not accomplish this.

McCain is far from being the "old fashioned" Republican. Talk about yer media potato...

If only there was some way we could fire these guys every so often. I'm not sure how, but say for example there was enough people that would rather have soemone else do the job you could... like... replace them with someone else.

If only there was some way....

Problem with that is...in recent history all our canidates have proven that they are only there for themselves and don't actually represent anyboby that votes for them.
