NEW YORK (AP) - NBA commissioner David Stern will testify before Congress next week about his league's drug-testing policy, making him the third head of a major U.S. sport called before lawmakers investigating steroids.
NBA vice president Rick Buchanan also will appear before the House Government Reform Committee on May 19, league spokesman Tim Frank said Wednesday, adding others might testify, too.
Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, other officials and current and former players appeared before the committee on March 17. Lawmakers roundly chastised the sport for what they said was a lenient steroids policy; Selig has since proposed making the punishments tougher and banning amphetamines.
