It sounds like a large-scale investigation by the Feds. BALCO has had its computers and billing records seized by the IRS while the FBI has been trailing their customers' comings and goings and literally picking through BALCOs' garbage for the last year and a half. I would be VERY surprised if the allegations against Bonds' and Giambi's supplier have not already been substantiated to the point they could be trotted out in front of a grand jury for indictment.
To me the accusation and guilt of Bonds and pals aren't going to be the issues as much as whether the baseball fans will choose to care and whether MLB makes more of a gesture than merely slapping these players on the wrist - if the Players Union even allows that. My guess is that we will just shrug it off because, darn it, we love those monster homeruns and could care less if the player was completely built from cloned oxen and stem cells.
I think the biggest impact will be that we get some witty signs at the ballpark this year for Sports Center.
