politics in sport

apparently there are politics in sport. "A North Dakota legislator is trying to muscle Roger Maris' 61-homer season back into baseball's record books because of allegations that the three players who have surpassed him did so with the help of steroids."
i'm not falling on one side or the other. i just can't imagine it would be "ok" if someone used innappropriate methods to attain records and procedures weren't in place to stop it. that's just my $.02.
