However , under Davis 's chairmanship from 2003 – 2007 , the committee launched two controversial investigations . One of those investigations — triggered by the publication of Jose Canseco 's memoir , '' Juiced — '' concerned the use of anabolic steroids by Major League Baseball players . The other was an inquiry into the Terri Schiavo case . In that investigation , which concerned the removal of a feeding tube from a woman in a persistent vegetative state , the committee issued a subpoena requiring Schiavo to " appear " so that members could " examine nutrition and hydration which incapacitated patients receive as part of their care " . The apparent objective of this , beyond providing information to committee members , was to delay the pending withdrawal of life support from Schiavo , whose wishes were in dispute , while Congress considered legislation specifically targeted at her case . Members of the Democratic minority opposed the action . Chairman Davis said it was " a legitimate legislative inquiry " . The committee also investigated World Wrestling Entertainment 's wellness and drug policies , amid speculation about a possible link between steroid use and the death of WWE performer Chris Benoit
