Synthetic steroids were contained in the supplement that was administrated by King Mo Lawal

King Mo Lawal admitted that he had used a dietary supplement that was tainted. As it turned out to be, that supplement contained 2 ingredients that were synthetic steroids. According to this fighter and his manager, intake of this product led to positive for Masteron.
King Mo Lawal noted during an interview for MMA Hour that he had got “S-Mass Lean Gainer” in a Max Muscle store in April, 2010. This supplement was produced by Steel Body Production.
But this is not the situation, when steroid ingredients are not disclosed. Synonyms of prohibited medications 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 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.
Anabolic Resources, a pharmaceutical company, was the first that manufactured Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was over 5 years ago. This company was accused in introducing of a new unapproved drug. Later Anabolic Resources pleaded guilty and acknowledged that they had sold 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 originally appeared as a dietary supplement in 2005 by Peak Performance’ Labs. The government didn’t take any action against this pharmaceutical company for producing and selling this steroid. But the company made a decision to stop manufacturing this supplement in 2006.
However legal status of these two substances is controversial, a lot of companies have manufactured and distributed them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. Undoubtedly, persons who are involved in this industry know about the status of these steroids but they continue to offer them for sales.
Mike Kogan, the manager for King Mo Lawal, says that the full responsibilities must be taken by the companies which market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. He believes that such companies misguide users intentionally.
