"The BALCO investigation appears to have exposed the most star-studded group of steroid-using athletes ever, but any cynic is rightfully entitled to point out that this investigation also might be the biggest fluke in sports history....Given the million-dollar incentives that exist for athletes to cheat and the expertise renegade scientists have developed to beat tests, some experts doubt sports ever can return to a drug-free era."
