Congressional Hearings on Professional Wrestling

The office of Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) released the following statement this afternoon:

"Earlier this month, I called for a Congressional hearing on steroid use in professional wrestling. I have talked with both the Chairman of the Energy & Commerce Committee, Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), and the Chairman of the Commerce, Trade & Consumer Protection Subcommittee, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), on this issue. Although no hearing yet has been scheduled, I was encouraged by those discussions that a hearing likely will be held this fall."

Furthermore, Rep. Stearns plans to draft a letter to be sent to Vince McMahon to find out how they would go about learning more about how their company operates in preparation for the hearings this fall.
