Introducing its use ....
Hi
Soccer superstar David Beckham uses Arnica (homeopathic medicine),
as do many of the top sports teams and athletes in
Europe. American athletes are starting to catch on as
well. The New York Times article referred to the head
fitness coach for the US Men’s National Soccer Team
introducing its use in 2002.
I'm not sure I understand the last sentence. Does it say that the New York Times' article said about the head fitness coach for the US soccer team who in 2002 recommended taking Arnica.

The scope of "in 2002" is potentially ambiguous, but I assume it probably refers to the introduction of its use. Thus, the article said something like "the head fitness coach for the US Men’s National Soccer Team introduced the use of Arnica in 2002".

Or maybe introduced its use in general?

The scope of his introduction of its use (whether to the soccer team, to sport in general, to America, etc.) is not completely clear just from that excerpt. However, with no further information, I assume by default that he introduced it just to the soccer team.
