A congressional committee will look into former baseball slugger Sammy Sosa's denial that he used illegal performance-enhancing ***** in light of a report that he tested positive for a performance-enhancing **** in 2003.
"The Oversight and Government Reform Committee always takes seriously suggestions that a witness misled the committee while testifying under oath," Rep. Edolphus Towns, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said in a statement. "Investigators will begin a review of this matter and, upon learning the results, I will determine appropriate next steps."
In 2005, Sosa told Congress that he had never taken illegal performance-enhancing *****. The New York Times reported Tuesday that Sosa tested positive two years before his appearance at a House hearing.
Greg Bouris, director of communications for the MLBPA, said the union had no comment on the matter.
