Since Congress has been compelled/requested to investigate steroid use in sports, shouldn't they look into other important issues, like......Exxon's profit of $40 Billion. Which do you think is a more pressing matter. Vote.

Neither of them are really pressing matters for ME. Gas price in US is way lower than what I was spending back home. I don't see why Exxon shouldn't make profits. I am speculating that many members here might have shares in that company and probably benefit much more than what they are spending for their fuel.
And I don't watch or follow sports. I would derive secret thrills if the situation so turned that sports become a competition for chemical companies to come up with the most effective performance boosting drug. Then I might start following sports, like Hyman Roth

I voted steroids because I love sports. I don't love gasoline.

Why investigate Exxon? It sells gas; I buy gas. If I want its gas, I pay what Exxon charges. Gas is a legal product and Exxon is leaglly able to make whatever profit on its sale that it can manage. Steroids are legal, but only if prescribed by a doctor for a medically necessary purpose.
