Well the RS says it clearly and plainly.

Should an unreported substitute bat and it is discovered prior to the next pitch, all runners are returned to their original base, any outs recorded stand, the unreported substitute is oficially in the game and called out.

Its obvious, to me anyway, ASA's intent is that the offense not gain the advantage you think is potentially there through cheating either with BOO or subs.
