King Mo Lawal blames a dietary supplement for his positive for Masteron

King Mo Lawal acknowledged that he had used a dietary supplement which was tainted. As it turned out to be, that supplement contained 2 ingredients that were synthetic steroids. According to this person and his manager, intake of this product caused positive for Masteron.
This fighter 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 case, when steroid ingredients are not disclosed. Synonyms of forbidden products are listed 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 drugs 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. So, methylated version of Masteron was determined in the urine sample of King Mo Lawal by a proper lab of the anti-doping agency.
Anabolic Resources, a pharmaceutical company, was the first that produced Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was over 5 years ago. This company was charged with introducing of a new unapproved medicine. Later Anabolic Resources pleaded guilty and admitted that they had marketed a synthetic steroid as a dietary supplement. As a result, Anabolic Resources 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 stop manufacturing this supplement in 2006.
Although legal status of these two substances is controversial, a lot of companies have manufactured and sold them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. Of course, those who are involved in this industry know about the status of these substances but they continue to sell them.
Mike Kogan, the manager for King Mo Lawal, notices that the full responsibilities should be taken by the companies that market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. This person adds that such companies misguide users intentionally.
