Selig to be summoned to testify before Congress

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) said Wednesday he would recommend that Selig be summoned to testify in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform if the Mitchell Report brings new and damning information to light according to the Washington Post. Selig and a number of players appeared before the panel in 2005.

"What we will find in this report is that a lot more people are involved in the illegal use of performance-enhancing drugs than we ever imagined," Cummings, a senior member of the committee, said in a telephone interview. "I think baseball has developed a culture of cheating. ... This may put Major League Baseball on the critical list. If it is on the critical list, we need critical solutions."
