Specter, the ranking Republican on the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, suggested something along the lines of the Mitchell report commissioned by baseball to delve into performance-enhancing drugs in the game. Whether Congress will take up the senator's cause is a different matter. ESPN.com posted 5/15/08
