King Mo Lawal acknowledged that he had used a tainted supplement

King Mo Lawal acknowledged that he had administrated a dietary supplement that was tainted. As it turned out to be, that supplement contained 2 ingredients that were synthetic steroids. According to this person and his manager, consumption of this product caused positive for Masteron.
King Mo 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 supplement was produced by Steel Body Production.
But this is not the situation, when steroid ingredients are not written. Synonyms of banned medicines are enumerated on the label of this supplement. 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 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 that manufactured Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was more than 5 years ago. This company was charged with elaborating of a new unapproved product. Later the company pleaded guilty and acknowledged that they had sold 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 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 this pharmaceutical company made a decision to discontinue manufacturing this supplement in 2006.
However legal status of these two substances is controversial, many companies have manufactured and distributed them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. It goes without saying that persons who are involved in this industry know about the status of these substances but they continue to offer them for sales.
Mike Kogan, the manager for King Mo Lawal, notes that the full responsibilities should be taken by the companies that market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. This person adds that such companies misguide consumers intentionally.
