The manager for King Mo Lawal blames pharmaceutical companies that market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements

King Mo Lawal acknowledged that he had taken a dietary supplement which was tainted. As it turned out to be, that supplement contained 2 ingredients which were synthetic steroids. According to this fighter and his manager, usage of this product caused positive for Masteron.
This fighter noticed during an interview for MMA Hour that he had bought “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 written. Synonyms of forbidden drugs are written on the label of this product. In fact, these steroids were the subjects of certain 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 medications 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 which produced Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was more than 5 years ago. This company was accused in introducing of a new unapproved medication. Later Anabolic Resources 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 the company for manufacturing and selling this steroid. But this pharmaceutical company decided to discontinue manufacturing this steroid in 2006.
Although legal status of these two products is controversial, numerous companies have produced and sold them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. Of course, persons who are involved in this industry know about the status of these supplements but they continue to offer them for sales.
The manager for 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 people intentionally.
