The Facts:
The same Congressional committee that conducted hearings into steroids in baseball has summoned commissioner Paul Tagliabue -- along with represntatives of other sports -- to testify about how football regulates the performance-enhancing substances. The NFL was also asked to provide details on the testing procedures and how they were negotiated between the league and players' union, among other things.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league responded immediately in a letter from Tagliabue that said he has directed his staff to be fully responsive to the committee's request. The letter to the NFL comes a day after CBS' "60 Minutes Wednesday" reported that three Carolina Panthers filled testosterone cream prescriptions during the 2003 season, when the team went to the Super Bowl.
