God, this is scary…
Excerpt from Peter Bond:
"Finally, whether you like it or not, evidence is mounting that whatever AAS is on the label of your vial, is most likely not in it. (Unless you got it from a pharmacy, but this isn’t particularly likely with methenolone to begin with.) A recent study conducted by the outpatient clinic for anabolic steroid users in the Netherlands examined 272 AAS samples from 46 different brands supplied to them by the subjects who enrolled in their clinical trial [18]. The results can be found in the table taken from the paper below:
Quality of AAS in the HAARLEM trial
Shockingly, only 13% of the supplied AAS only had the declared AAS in them. And mind you, this was a qualitative analysis. So this doesn’t even mean these were dosed as declared on the label!
And I hear you thinking: “Yeah but those are losers, mine is real, I got a trustworthy supplier.” Do you? I know some of the subjects which participated in this trial personally. They all were super convinced that their AAS were good to go as described on the label. It was unthinkable to them that their stuff wasn’t legit. They had the best supplier in town. Nevertheless, they were wrong.
The authors of the paper also mention this: “Attempting to circumvent untrustworthy AAS products by buying from a seemingly “reliable” brand or dealer—an ever intriguing topic to users of AAS—appears trifling as no brand showed consistent reliability.”
Similar results were published in 2005 by the Dutch doping authority after examination of 336 products [19] and in Sweden when they analysed over a 1.000 samples of doping products seized at their border [20].
The shadiness of the AAS black market adds to the unreliability of personal accounts of AAS usage beyond the obvious drawbacks of anecdotes. Most AAS users simply aren’t taking whatever they think they’re taking."
