Rep. Bobby Rush (D.-Ill.), the chair
of last week's committee that quizzed America's sports authorities on drug
policies, seems to be among the very few to realize that while pro wrestling is
fake, its performers die real deaths - while the business escapes
accountability.
Rush said he was "exceptionally and extremely
disappointed" that Vince McMahon was the only one invited who declined to
appear. "Steroid abuse in pro wrestling," said Rush, "is probably worse than in
any professional sport or amateur sport. The number of deaths in the
professional ranks is startling, to say the least."
Worse, McMahon's no-show surely deprived some
Congressmen and their staffs important autograph and picture-posing time.
But if McMahon's day before Congress comes, we'd
hope that Rep. Rush asks him to explain the medical condition he suffered from
that caused his own steroid use. And next, why the WWE's (then the WWF) favorite
physician, Dr. George Zahorian, wound up in a federal prison. And that's just
for starters.
