Back to your original question:

[ QUOTE ]
Is it really Congress's business to request the results/documentation of the WWE's steroid tests?

As noted in the article this investigation is through the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Quoting their website:

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the main investigative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. It has jurisdiction to investigate any federal program and any matter with federal policy implications.

So yay, basically they can investigate anything they want to.

this was going to be my question. congress can investigate basically any business as long as it does business over state lines? what kind of penalties can congress specifically hand out?

In terms of penalties, not much... contempt of Congress is about it (yawn). The bigger deal would be referral to DOJ.
