Doesn't seem like apples to apples to me.

It comes down to how one perceives risk. I think it is pretty obvious that professional athletes ought to be very wary of supplements, regardless of what is on the label. Their livlihoods depend on them being smart and informed. Risk aversion should be high. For a girl in the stated situation she should also have some level of risk aversion but if she truely trusts then you can't much blame her now can you?

Essentially to equate the two you'd have to make the assumption that the players(the girl) had been taking said supplement long enough to have passed other tests(creating reasonable trust) and then the company who makes the supplement(the guy) decides to change the formula(slip in a roofie) for the purpose of getting the athletes banned(raped).

I don't think that is how it happened. But I am not sure we know all the details yet.
