The committee's stated purpose in conducting this investigation is far grander than the possible use of steroids and HGH by Clemens or that of the other players scheduled to testify. It is about examining whether federal laws were violated and whether the failure of Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players' Association to curb the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs has unintentionally made young athletes more prone to using those drugs.
