I think it's bad enough the Senate stuck its nose in the baseball steroids thing. But I can't imagine Congress demanding a federal investigation just because, say, the US team lost a few games at the World Baseballl Classic. This sort of political grandstanding/meddling is far too common in soccer. Unless there's criminal wrongdoing, German MPs shouldn't waste their time on badgering Klinsi. And besides, everyone was calling for <strong>Rudi Voeller</strong> to be given the sack before WC2002 and they made it all the way to the final.
