A COMPANY who supplied Fremantle with supplements was fined more than $3 million for importing unregistered substances in 2012, according to The Age.

Export Corporation, whose parent company Nurtrition Systems was a Freo sponsor from 2008 to 2009, was reportedly found guilty of 35 unlawful importations between 2007 and 2008.

"It is believed the company's supplements were not extensively used during the period," the report says.

AFL.com.au is not suggesting any Fremantle players have used illegal substances or were supplied them by Nutrition Systems.

Nutrition Systems was fined for 35 separate importsofsubstances not listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. Included in the haul were supplements that increased muscle growth.
