I guess my argument comes to this:

To me it is reasonable that athletes should have been more wary of this supplement, or any supplement for that matter. Relying on the label is a mistake they shouldn't make.

How this particular situation shifts in my mind though is that I DO think they have a reasonable expectation that the league will communicate properly when supplements are found to be mislabeled. It not being reported by the league is tantamount to them saying "we have no reason to ban this substance". In that case they weren't just relying on the label, they were relying on the league to be open. The league failed. They ought to give it up and learn from the situation.
