COSTELLO: Major League Baseball will be back under the congressional microscope today during another round of steroid hearings. But baseball will not be alone this time. Three of the major sports, as well as track and field, could face some tough questions as well. For a look at what we can expect, let's turn to CNN national correspondent Bob Franken. He's live in Washington this morning. Hello -- Bob.</s>BOB FRANKEN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Carol. Steroids, of course, have become the safe political issue up here. And there are hearings, hearings and more hearings. What we're going to be getting in the next couple of days is testimony from the commissioners of the various sports. They're being asked to respond to legislation that's being proposed, really severe legislation that would require that the first time a player is found to have an illegal substance, a steroid-like substance in his system, he will be suspended for a year, and then after that a lifetime suspension. And they're talking about random mandatory testing for every player in professional sports. The commissioners will come from football, baseball, basketball, soccer, from the National Hockey League. It's going to be quite an all-star show of commissioners. We expect to see them squirm quite a bit.</s>COSTELLO: I just find it kind of ironic that hockey is going to be present when there is no hockey season. And there may not be one next year either.</s>FRANKEN: No, there won't be. And what this really points out is that the commissioners in the various sports say the problem that they have with these policies that they tried to impose is their labor negotiations. And, of course, hockey was shut down because they had unsuccessful labor negotiations.</s>COSTELLO: Exactly. Bob Franken live from Washington this morning. Thank you. We'll have much more news in a moment. You are watching DAYBREAK.
