Shine the light on SpyGate For all the posturing and grandstanding that we have gotten from Congress in its hearings about drug cheats in baseball, in the end more good came out of them than bad, starting with the fact that baseball's drug-testing policy, with all its flaws, is now the most rigorous in sports. And Congress, as much as any book or article, put more of a spotlight on drug use in baseball than we'd ever had before. Nobody knows what happens if Specter ever shines his big Congressional light on whatever Bill Belichick thought he was doing and whatever he thought he was getting away with; and how many other teams thought they were getting away with the same thing. But Specter has a right to keep talking about this, whether he's a disgruntled Eagles fan or not. Professional sports is a billion-dollar industry in this country and pro football, with that same sweet anti-trust exemption that baseball has, is the richest sport of all. So Specter happens to be right when he says that the integrity of the sport is still supposed to matter.
