BALCO investigation allegely nearing a close...well it's about time!

After a couple years filled with off and on interrogations which allowed MLB to still showcase some of today's brightest star players word is going around that the steroid investigation is on the verge of being wrapped up. How could this be with the never ending wishy-washy alibis and lame excuses for cases involving performance enhancing drugs? Jason Giambi has already felt pressure as he admitted to doing something wrong yet didn't make it clear what he did. Cheating will always exist in sports so why don't these buffon players just clear the air and tell the truth for once. They're so worried about their precious careers being in jeopardy like it really matters when they're in the mid-to-late 30s.

All eyes are on Barry Bonds, more so because he's less than 10 homeruns away from breaking Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record. This year the veteran Giants slugger is having trouble playing in the outfield. His weight gain obviously has effected his speed in trying to chase down fly balls and jump due to back soreness. Well, I think Barry was right when he claimed to a grand jury that his trainer supplied him with arthritis balm (for all I know he could have used to it rub all over his ass). The notion of Bonds having little or no feeling is in hands or lower extremities is believable, but I can't see investigators overlooking how illegal drugs came into the picture.

If Bonds is found to be guilty on two counts, which includes perjury when he testified in court then the homerun record celebration may be short-lived. I can't believe how long this steroids case has dragged on without concrete evidence being presented. The government needs to end the whole thing soon because MLB already has enough issues with pitchers beaning batters, teammates fighting in clubhouses, lack of sportsmanship, and mascots being thrown into the mix. I don't see how the integrity of the game will be intact if and when these probed athletes are found guilty especially after the fact records are broken. Bud Selig will still sit back and reap billions of dollars.
