Former Yankees second baseman Chuck Knoblauch is apparently no longer hiding from lawmakers interested in talking to him about the issue of steroids in baseball.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today said it will interview Knoblauch this Friday, Feb. 1, in advance of a public hearing scheduled for Feb. 13. The committee had issued a subpoena for Knoblauch but had trouble serving it because he could not be located. Knoblauch has now agreed to speak with the committee voluntarily.

“We are pleased that Mr. Knoblauch has agreed to voluntarily participate in a transcribed interview or deposition with the Committee," Chairman Henry A. Waxman and ranking minority member Tom Davis said in a joint statement. "As a result, the Committee is withdrawing the subpoena.”

House members are seeking to interview several players and trainers about allegations of the sale and use of performance enhancing drugs outlined in a report by former Senator George Mitchell.

Knoblauch has been asked to speak to the committee presumably because he was named in the report. He told the New York Times earlier this month that he has "nothing to hide."

Former teammates Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens were also named in the report. Pettitte has admitted to taking human growth hormone. Clemens has angrily denied using any performance enhancing drugs.

The committee plans to interview Pettitte on Wednesday and is scheduled to speak with Clemens on Feb. 5. Former trainer Brian McNamee, who claims he provided steroids to Clemens, will speak to committee members on Feb. 7. An interview with Kirk Radomski, another trainer who claims to have sold steroids to players, has not yet been scheduled.
