The supplement which was taken by King Mo Lawal contained 2 synthetic steroids

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, 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 disclosed. Synonyms of forbidden drugs are listed on the label of this supplement. In fact, these steroids were the subjects of some 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 products 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 Lawal by a proper lab of the anti-doping agency.
Anabolic Resources, a pharmaceutical company, was the first that produced Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was more than 5 years ago. This company was accused in elaborating of a new unapproved product. Later this pharmaceutical company pleaded guilty and admitted 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 company for manufacturing and selling this steroid. But Peak Performance made a decision to stop producing this steroid in 2006.
However legal status of these two substances is controversial, numerous companies have produced and distributed them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. It goes without saying that persons that are involved in this industry know about the status of these supplements but they continue to offer them for sales.
Mike Kogan, the manager for King Mo 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 users intentionally.
