This Just In: Wrestlers Might Use Steroids, By: Tom Shoop

Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Tom Davis, R-Va. -- the chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee -- have had their share of run-ins lately over the panel's agenda. But they've found one thing to agree on: the committee's ongoing interest in the issue of steroids in professional sports.

This time, ESPN the Magazine reports, the "sport" in question is professional wrestling. Waxman and Davis have written a letter to Vince McMahon, head of World Wrestling Entertainment, demanding that he provide records about the the organization's steroids testing policies.

"WWE has a responsibility to do everything possible to eliminate the use of performance-enhancing drugs -- or the perception of such use -- by its wrestlers," the lawmakers wrote.

What?! Pro wrestlers using steroids? The next thing you're going to tell me is that the matches are fixed. This is just shocking.
