King Mo will not appeal positive steroid test; blames over-the-counter supplement for 'mistake'

Photo

Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Muhammed Lawal, who tested positive for the anabolic steroid Drostanolone following a Jan. 7, 2012, win over Lorenz Larkin, is not expected to file an appeal with the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

Drostanolone, also found in previous drug test results from Josh Barnett and Hermes Franca, is popular among athletes and competitive bodybuilders because its "anti-estrogenic properties make it a very effective cutting agent."

But "King Mo" insists he "had no intent of taking any illegal substance."

That's according to his manager Mike Kogan, who told the MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting) that Lawal ingested "a supplement called S-Mass Lean Gainer by Rock Solid, which Lawal said he bought at a Max Muscle store in California and used only sporadically for 'rehab stuff.'"

Lawal explains how it all went down, after the jump.

Star-divide

"When I went to Max Muscle, I figured you can't buy steroids at a Max Muscle. It's a chain store," he said. "That's like going to a grocery store and buying something illegal there. ...I guess that's the mistake I made. When I looked at the bottle, it just had a bunch of numbers on it. It had the ingredients. I didn't see anything that looked illegal on the bottle, to be honest with you."

Ignorance is bliss.

While Lawal is not expected to file an appeal when he appears before the NSAC, Kogan says he does intend to provide an "answer" for the results of the drug test, which he blames on the "tricks" of the supplement industry.

Kogan is also asking fans to "do their research" before jumping to conclusions based on the reports of "headline-chasing reporters," which is ironic, since the failure to do any research is what landed him and his client in this mess to begin with.

And by his own admission, S-Mass Lean Gainer, marketed as "the most powerful designer anabolic ever created," was taken off store shelves in mid-2011. That means it was bought in 2010, removed from stores in 2011, found in Lawal's system in 2012.

Sporadic indeed.

It is superdrol.

Which is a designer steroid.
There are a bunch of illegal pro-hormones that you can still purchase, but they have all basically been discontinued. I have used M-Drol myself, but I knew exactly what it was. I am sure he did as well.

by naturalshadow on Jan 24, 2012 12:35 PM EST up reply actions  

Does m-droll work well?

by zesotheclown on Jan 24, 2012 12:42 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Yes, but the side efffects can be a bit rough.

I would say it almost works too well. You gain a ton of strength in just 4-6 weeks. The gains come so fas that even with a good pct product (I used double dragon pct 350) you are still going to lose a lot of the gains. It is also di-methylated, so it can be rough on the liver. I bought 2 bottles, and got 3 cycles out of it over a period of about a year.

Personally, the only other time in my life I used pro-hormones was when they were still legal. I liked a product like 1-ad a lot better then M-drol. I have heard good things about other pro-hormones such as H-drol and P-mag, but I haven’t used them myself.

by naturalshadow on Jan 24, 2012 1:04 PM EST up reply actions  

Yea I read its bad for the liver and you can’t stack with it. I’ll probably pass with using hormones I just buy protein powder and I’ve been working out for about 2 years I’ve gained from 175 to about 185 and its solid growth none of that goes away crap but want to gain muscle a little faster

by zesotheclown on Jan 24, 2012 1:49 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Probably a good idea.

I have been training for almost 15 years now. Besides the 1-ad that I used probably close to 8 years ago, I didn’t start using the M-drol until last year. The only reason I even decided to finally try it was because I was injured for a while and lost a TON of strength. It wasn’t coming back no matter how hard I tried, so I finally just said screw it, and gave it a shot. So far I have only done those 3 cycles, and the other 2 were also after I was either sick or injured, mostly to help get strength back. It was just so strong that not only did I get it back, but I rocketed past where I was at. Usually it fell back to where I was at naturally before I was sick or injured, and that is all I wanted anyway. I don’t think it is a great idea to use them whenever you hit a plateau, because then you will end up using them all the time, or just go ahead and start jabbing yourself with needles.

by naturalshadow on Jan 24, 2012 1:59 PM EST up reply actions  

I normally just stick with protein powder, creatine, vitamins, and the occasional natural test booster, such as Gamma-O.

Through the years that is how I have made 99% of my gains, and those will stay with you. (unless you get injured or sick of course)

You could use the same arguement for anything

Yeah I stuck a stick through his bike spokes on the tour de france and yeah lance armstrong fell on his face and broke his neck but, “yep you caught me”. Yeah held my opponents head under water on the triathlon till he passed out so I could get ahead but “yep you caught me”, i’m still a real man. Yeah I used plaster of paris to wrap my hands prior to the boxing match but “yep you caught me”, doesnt matter that his face is broken beyond repair, at least i’m a real man for owning up.

They are cheaters, and automatically weak fucks incapable of being real men and just working hard.

I respect your opinion

but it is naive to believe that most professional fighters are not juicing, one way or another. We don’t hear aboput the top guys gettign caught because they have the money to afford the undetectables, which abound in professional sports.

It is all about rationalization

It is very easy to juice when your belief system tells you that others are doing the same. You convince yourself that to even the playing field, you must juice as well, thereby re-gaining your original belief that you are the better fighter.

Like a levelling of the playing field, i understand.

For me personally I view myself as a better fighter for not doing it. If i win even with an unfair disadvantage, I know I did right. I know no matter what, I fought my heart out and did it without any unfair help.

I know its a young mans, idealistic philosophy, but i’m gonna stick to it.

If the person is smart they go off them and start taking an estrogen blocker right away

Cause the body is naturally going to try to compensate for the elevated testosterone levels it’s experiencing while on a cycle. I could be wrong on the recovery, but I think that’s pretty much over with almost immediatley after someone stops.

Mo bought the S-Mass Learn Gainer at Max Muscle.. i believe that

I think S-Mass Lean Gainer was well under the radar for at least a year and a clerk at Max Muscle would tell you all about it it’s benefits in a positive way, and he may not even know it’s a designer drug, because he was mislead as well as the consumer is.

From my understanding that junk would cause the tests to come out positive for exactly what Mo was caught for and that is why it was pulled off the market

Whether you think Mo did it purposefully or unintentionally is questionable in IMO.

but I bet $$ Mo could pass a lie detector test in the manner in which he spoke about it.

Anyone can do it

knowing that lie detectors are based upon a set of “normal” responses, you jack the baseline responses to match any other response you give.

A thumbtack in your shoe worked for me. Step on it the whole time you are getting tested. The pain will increase your breathing rate and heart rate and mask every answer.

There is a reason lie detector tests are inadmissable in court.

If you want to answer “no” and it will be a lie, then IMMEDIATELY ask yourself (silently, in your mind) if your name is Jeff, or Bob, or anything besides your real first name. Basically, you telling the truth the whole time. You’re just answering the “name question” when you want to lie! But, nobody asked me for my two cents anyway! lol

Look definitely has to do with it

These sloppy fuckers that get caught my guess is they probably are not experts and probably don’t cycle correctly which is why they fail their drug test. Most hard bodies get caught too the high profile ones being Nate marquardt, chael sonnen, christiane cyborg, sean Sherk and Hermes franca.. now this fool all off the top of my head. Some know what they are doing and some don’t.. Don’t be so fucking naive. Now if these Athletes REALLY aren’t cheating how hard is it to say I DO NOT USE STEROIDS or I DO NOT USE PED’s. As opposed to “I have never failed a drug test” come on use your brain

by I_know_my_shit on Jan 24, 2012 11:47 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

So you are saying that they are all using

but the ones with the better physiques and not getting caught are doing a better job of hiding it than lets say a lesser toned athlete that gets busted?

by U3O8man on Jan 24, 2012 11:58 AM EST up reply actions  

Alright listen...

I have no idea what the percentage is or how many of athletes use PED’s or whatever. But ok let’s use MO ok he fails his drug test duh look at his physique it’s not a surprise. Now if bj Penn failed a drug and came back with a “o I don’t cheat I don’t use steroids something must have gone wrong with the testing or got mixed up” or whatever then it’s kinda like ok idk maybe it’s possible there was a fuck up lol. Look at my original comment all I was saying was hey maybe if MO wasnt built like a black Zeus I might actually believe his bullshit. He’s a fuckin pro athlete and with his physique he fuckin knows exactly what he’s putting in his body. All these people do. Some are experts and some probably don’t have a clue what they’re doing. And just for the record I said I know my shit I didn’t fucking say I know everything. I put my comment in and u replied to it. Pussies like mythbuster say shit all the time that is pretty fucking stupid, he should just delete his shit and go coach t-ball or
something. it’s clear and easy to see which people know what they’re talking about and which don’t..

by I_know_my_shit on Jan 24, 2012 1:08 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

different kinds of steroids do different things

some aid in gaining muscle mass while aid in strength and recovery as well as endurance…his physique doesn’t necessarily mean he took steroids years of wrestling and working out plus good genes = good physique.

He got tested for the Pan Am Games, he got tested for the World Cup, he got tested for the Olympic trials.
