A list describing the supplements and medications that light heavyweight Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal used prior to his appearance at “Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine” points to a single product as the cause of his positive steroid test.

In a letter sent this past Saturday to the Nevada attorney general’s office, Lawal’s rep stated that an OTC testosterone supplement, S-Mass Lean Gainer, contains a chemical precursor to Drostanolone.

That’s the steroid that recently landed the fighter in hot water.

With Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal’s emphatic win over Lorenz Larkin this past Saturday, Strikeforce’s field of viable contenders further dwindled.

A light-heavyweight title is up for grabs, and all signs point to a rematch between former champs Lawal and Gegard Mousasi in the second quarter of this year.

Lawal, who knocked out Larkin at “Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine,” isn’t exactly excited about the fight, but he doesn’t have much choice.
