King Mo Lawal used a supplement that contained steroid ingredients

King Mo Lawal acknowledged that he had administrated a dietary supplement which was tainted. As it turned out to be, that supplement contained 2 ingredients which were synthetic steroids. According to this person and his manager, administration of this product led to positive for Masteron.
Lawal noted during an interview for MMA Hour that he had purchased “S-Mass Lean Gainer” in a Max Muscle store in April, 2010. This product was manufactured by Steel Body Production.
But this is not the situation, when steroid ingredients are not disclosed. Synonyms of forbidden products are written on the label of this product. In fact, these steroids were the subjects of certain debates between anti-doping organizations and federal regulators since 2005. They are following: 2a-17a-Dimethyl-5aandrost-3-one 17b-ol and 4-Chloro-17a-Methyl-a-andro4-ene3, 17b-diol. These preparations are better known under the names: Superdrol and Promagnon.
As for Superdrol, it goes by methyldrostanolone, methasteron and 2a-17a-Dimethyl-5aandrost-3-one 17b-ol. Thus, methylated version of Masteron was defined in the urine sample of King Mo Lawal by a proper lab of the anti-doping agency.
The pharmaceutical company Anabolic Resources was the first which produced Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was more than 5 years ago. This company was accused in elaborating of a new unapproved medication. Later Anabolic Resources pleaded guilty and acknowledged that they had marketed a synthetic steroid as a dietary supplement. As a result, this company had to pay a fine of 500, 000 dollars.
As for Promagnon, it also initially appeared as a dietary supplement in 2005 by Peak Performance’ Labs. The government didn’t take any action against the company for manufacturing and selling this steroid. But this pharmaceutical company made a decision to discontinue producing this product in 2006.
Although legal status of these two steroids is controversial, many companies have produced and distributed them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. Undoubtedly, those that are involved in this industry know about the status of these products but they continue to offer them for sales.
The manager for Lawal notes that the full responsibilities should be taken by the companies which market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. He adds that such companies misguide people intentionally.
