If congress wants to go after white collar criminals,then it's probably because others in society refuse to enforce the laws these people broke.Simple as that.

They may have used illegal methods but the problem is that only a few individuals are being targeted and surprise, suprise it is the big names. The court of Public opinion has spoken about PED's in sports and based on the publics reaction, they seemingly dont care that much. They still go to the games, watch them on TV and buy the merchandise. This is not white collar crime. This is a private institution being investigated by itself with government assistance. That in itself is troubling. That the government is willing to use its powers to help regulate a private business. If the govt wanted to go after this issue they should have sent FBI and FDA agents in against the distributors of the drugs. That is where the crime was committed. Shameful grandstanding when nothing can really be accomplished is a joke.
