King Mo Lawal and his manager blame companies that market the products which contain steroids as dietary supplements

King Mo Lawal acknowledged that he had taken 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.
This fighter said 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 manufactured by Steel Body Production.
But this is not the case, when steroid ingredients are not written. Synonyms of banned products are enumerated on the label of S-Mass Lean Gainer. Actually, these steroids were the subjects of some debates between anti-doping agencies 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.
The pharmaceutical company Anabolic Resources was the first which manufactured Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was more than 5 years ago. This company was accused in introducing of a new unapproved preparation. Later this pharmaceutical company pleaded guilty and admitted that they had sold a synthetic steroid as a dietary supplement. As a result, this pharmaceutical 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 this pharmaceutical company for producing and selling this steroid. But this pharmaceutical company made a decision to stop producing this steroid in 2006.
Although legal status of these two steroids is controversial, a lot of companies have produced and sold them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. Of course, persons 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 notices that the full responsibilities must be taken by the companies that market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. He adds that such companies misguide users intentionally.
