The dietary supplement S-Mass Lean Gainer caused Lawal’s positive for Masteron

King Mo Lawal admitted that he had taken a dietary supplement which was tainted. As it turned out to be, that supplement contained 2 ingredients that were synthetic steroids. According to this person and his manager, administration of this product led to 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 supplement was produced by Steel Body Production.
But this is not the situation, when steroid ingredients are not disclosed. Synonyms of banned medications are enumerated on the label of S-Mass Lean Gainer. Actually, these steroids were the subjects of several 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 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 manufactured 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 marketed 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 this company for manufacturing and selling this steroid. But the company made a decision to discontinue producing this product in 2006.
However legal status of these two steroids is controversial, many companies have produced and distributed them as dietary supplements during about 6 years. Of course, those who are involved in this industry know about the status of these substances but they continue to sell them.
The manager for Lawal notes that the full responsibilities must be taken by the companies that market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. This person believes that such companies misguide consumers intentionally.
