Teams are going to sell the players clean supplements:
Management and the players association are having NSF International, a company based in Ann Arbor, Mich., certify that products are clean. Once a supplement is certified, teams will buy the products and make them available for resale to players in the 30 major league clubhouses.
"They do all of the auditing and testifying of the products and certify they are clean," management lawyer Frank Coonelly said Monday.
I wonder what kind of markup the teams are going to charge?

It's about time that the teams got directly involved in overseeing the supplements their players take, given how much is at stake for them... but doesn't it seem a little stingey to charge them. Do they charge them for sunflower seeds or stirrup socks?
