King Mo Lawal says that he has used a tainted dietary 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 which were synthetic steroids. According to this person and his manager, consumption of this product caused positive for Masteron.
Lawal noted 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 produced by Steel Body Production.
But this is not the situation, when steroid ingredients are not written. Synonyms of forbidden preparations are enumerated on the label of this product. Actually, 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 medicines 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 determined in the urine sample of Lawal by a proper lab of the anti-doping agency.
The pharmaceutical company Anabolic Resources was the first which sold Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was over 5 years ago. This company was charged with introducing of a new unapproved medicine. Later this pharmaceutical company pleaded guilty and admitted 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 initially appeared as a dietary supplement in 2005 by Peak Performance’ Labs. The government didn’t take any action against this pharmaceutical company for manufacturing and selling this steroid. But this pharmaceutical company made a decision to discontinue 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, persons who are involved in this industry know about the status of these substances but they continue to offer them for sales.
The manager for Lawal proclaims that the full responsibilities must be taken by the companies that market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. He believes that such companies misguide people intentionally.
