Paul Byrd's 1000 HGH units and 100 syringes aren't enough for Mike Lupica

Lupica's angry point is he wants Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens to sit on television in front of Congress just like Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa did. Lupica will accept nothing less. At the very end of the article he throws in 2 more names he'd like to see, but he's done being furious, just mentions the names: Brian Roberts and Miguel Tejada.

• How does Paul Byrd, a major user over a period of years, winner of the deciding game against the Yankees in the 2007 ALDS, escape the extreme anger of Lupica? Byrd doesn't even get a mention? Much of Byrd's 'oh come on, this was for an approved medical condition and everyone knew about it' has been disproved.

How does the case of Paul Byrd totally escape Mike Lupica? Why aren't Paul Byrd and his litany of lies making headlines?

P.S. What if George Mitchell had been a director of the Yankees, a past lobbyist for the tobacco industry, and named prominent Red Sox in his report. And he got the Red Sox names from a Boston area clubhouse guy who had a plea deal with the feds. And there were no prominent Yankees on the list. All things being equal, this should've been as likely a scenario as any other. But it never would've been considered for 1 second by Bud Selig.
