MLB ought to provide players with a list of banned products. The same product could be called a million different things and be sold over the counter. While I agree that the onus is on the players, I think it would be more clear to all if they provide a list of products that contain banned substances. It would be a long list and a hassle, but the union, agents, MLB, anyone should put in the time. It's probably not doable, hperk -- not unless you can really enforce standards against manufacturers, and that includes quality standards, not just labeling standards. There has been at least one case in the past (not in MLB, but in a sport regulated by the USOC) where an athlete was dinged for a substance found in a supplement he was taking, which was not even listed on the product label. So if the products don't even have accurate labels, I don't see how MLB could have a definitive list -- and that's not even considering the fact that products change all the time. "Get it approved by the team's trainer" is probably the way to go, and to be on the safe side, that would involve a pretty expensive lab test.
