    This is your senator on, um, supplements
    Sen. Orrin Hatch has been sighted at the Sundance Film Festival - on screen, at least.

    The Utah Republican is mentioned quite unkindly in the documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster*," director Christopher Bell's look at anabolic steroids in sports - and how his brothers have used them to pursue their dreams of being pumped up.

    When Bell talks about the dietary-supplements industry (a segment that includes an old-fashioned snake oil salesman, to give you an idea of how Bell feels about it), he credits Hatch for pushing legislation to keep the industry unregulated. Bell also mentions that Utah is a big player in the $240 billion-a-year supplements industry.
