2. If the banned substance "bumetanide" is not on the label then how in the world are you supposed to know that it is in the supplement? You cannot assume that the players knew if it is not on the label.

I'd disagree. Players should know what's going in your body. If you take something that is banned then you suffer the consequences. They can go ahead and sue the pants off the company for mislabeling. They should. It sounds harsh but in the end everyone is responsible to KNOW WHAT IS GOING IN THEIR BODY. If they take a supplement then they are assuming a level of risk. Hell, if they ingest anything they are assuming a level of risk as it pertains to the ingredients. In the case of supplements the risk is clearly much higher than say a PB&J. I'd file it under "life is not fair". To me this draws a nice solid line for players to be aware of what is right and wrong.

3. If the NFL knew why didn't they notify the Teams and Players? You cannot punish people for doing wrong if they had no way of knowing that they were doing wrong.

1000000% agree. To me the argument I made about point 2 is affected by this. The league should be making every effort to be transparent with this type of information. The league's lack of candor helped prevent the players from having all the info. This shifts some blame to them.
