Illegal yes, but that's a matter for the Execute and Judicial branches or the Government, not the Legislative branch.
Why aren't they questioning body builders, Pro wrestlers, Lance Armstong (accused of doping), of NFLers that get suspended for violation of the substance abuse policy? For that matter, how about people that fail random drug tests or pre-employment drugs screens? They are doing illegal things also. Where does it end?
I agree that steroid use sets a bad example for our kids, and those who use are cheaters, but it's not an issue for Congress. It's a job for the DEA, Law Enforcement agencies, and the Judicial system.
