The manager for King Mo Lawal says that full responsibilities have to be taken by companies that market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements

King Mo Lawal acknowledged that he had used 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 led to positive for Masteron.
Lawal 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 produced by Steel Body Production.
But this is not the situation, when steroid ingredients are not written. Synonyms of forbidden drugs are written on the label of S-Mass Lean Gainer. 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 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. So, methylated version of Masteron was determined 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 sold Superdrol as a dietary supplement. It was over 5 years ago. This company was accused in introducing of a new unapproved product. Later Anabolic Resources pleaded guilty and admitted that they had marketed 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 initially 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 Peak Performance made a decision to stop manufacturing this steroid in 2006.
Although legal status of these two products is controversial, numerous companies have produced and distributed them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. Of course, those that are involved in this industry know about the status of these steroids but they continue to sell them.
Mike Kogan, the manager for King Mo Lawal, says 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.
