Testosterone replacement and prostate cancer: Is therapy safe?
"One revolutionary aspect of Morgentaler's theory is the observation that prostate cancer is often found in men with low testosterone levels, not high ones, underscoring the idea that taking it may not be an added risk. It's not surprising that Morgentaler -- who has received honorariums and research funding from companies selling testosterone-related products -- has generated such controversy with his ideas."
Detect Counterfeit Tablets with an Ordinary Office Scanner ?
Perhaps some UGs will be able to implement their own versions of this idea.
This new patented covert solution is based on the unique and intrinsic characteristics of the tooling used in the tablet presses. The punch die sets used by the original manufacturer are listed as reference images in a data base that serves to authenticate the tablets produced by each specific punch die set. Just one reference is sufficient to authenticate all the tablets produced by the punch die set, counted in millions. No additional marking is necessary and the process does not incur any additional production costs.

Interview with Dwain Chambers - British sprinter and former 'Clear' user.
I was surprised to read that it wasn't just the clear he got caught using but a cocktail of PEDs that included testosterone, EPO, HGH, insulin, modafinil, and liothyronine.
The article is called 'The Dwain Event' and can be found on Google.
"Undercover Double Life: Operation Equine."

Axio reps throwing some big figures around in BOS debate.
"People out there now whats true and what isn't... this water issue is a joke! Thousands of vials are sold daily... we would have heard about it!"
"1 order of var out of 500,000 tabs that we just sold out of today"
"Again you are the only one out of 100k tabs that say's so."
Those figures will of course be a red flag to any LE on the forum.

More best of British UG stuff from our London blackmarket shopping trip
Anabol 5 by "Elite La Pharma" ( got to resist making my usual comment on UG product names )
Not sure this one is really British as the packaging is in French and as a general rule the Brits are no big fans of the French. It is however being sold in British gyms and hyped on British bodybuilding forums.
I didn't want to open the pack as the current owner was worried he'd have a hard time selling it sealed, let alone with a tab or two missing. I can describe the tabs for you though, they look very similar to the triangular ( with rounded corners ) Geneza tabs minus of course the GP stamp.
"Elite La Pharma" is of course a terrible name, a combo of 'La Pharma" and "Elite Fitness" ? Perhaps chosen to make it hard to find on search engines ? ( you'll notice there is no url on the packaging lending further weight to this theory )
The products themselves ( orals only at this point ? ) appear to be getting good reviews online.
One post claimed that "Elite La Pharma" was run by former BD employees but personally I doubt it :-)
btw if anyone from ELP is reading then might I suggest you improve the sealing of your pouches, the wrinkles on the top edge don't look very professional ( they look glued rather than heat sealed ).
UG quote of the day.
and I'm spell checking posts before I write them.
Axio product samples spark debate on BOS.
"AXIO felt strongly enough about their line to provide us samples. This is a very good sign. However, half of the samples AXIO provided us for testing were contaminated with water. You could see it immediately when you shake the vials up."
"This is just water and not necessarily "pollution", mind you. I am NOT SAYING AXIO IS DIRTY OR DANGEROUS."
and in a later post that followed a series of denials by known Axio fans :
"I'd like to hear more. If this is not consistent, then I am going to assume AXIO sent us samples that were not from production lots.
I don't want to make assumptions yet though. Let's see what others report. We still have AXIO taken from the black market to test."

All tabs are created equally ?
The white crystals you can see in the fake Anabol tab are probably the active ingredient, they should be roughly the same size and evenly spread throughout the tablet.
I think you'll agree which one you'd feel more confident using.
( and yes it would have made more sense to have a pic of HG Anabol for the comparison unfortunately I forgot to take one when I had the chance )

Weird weapon smuggling case ( Bangkok to Australia by post)
In this case it looks like the guy spent around six months in Thailand during which he mailed several packages of weapons to his own home. After the first was seized he continued to mail further packages and some of those were also seized. On his return to Australia he was arrested because of the seized packages and found to have even more weapons in his luggage.

My pics of fake VS real Anabol from 2003 !
Here's a picture ( well actually a scan ) I took of the first confirmed copy of the, then new, Anabol with snake imprint.
At the time a few Russian based sources ( who have now vanished ) were very unhappy with the pics. Strangely the fake tabs in the picture look very similar to the pics of fake tabs being posted in 2009 and those tabs are still coming from the East block.

Axio regrets posting pics of it's new ampule range before official launch.
Here are some cellphone shots from Axio of the actual Stanaplex and Testaplex (?) amps fresh off the production line before having their labels put on.
The 'official' statement from Axio posted on the forums today :-
"Axiolabs probably jumped the gun in releasing the good news of our new line of ampoules. We do this to show that we are no ordinary underground lab. It appears that many people on ( board name removed so that Axio isn't flooded with freebie requests ) decided to rush to the concept that we were somehow counterfeiting them.
I have taken the liberty of going to the lab and taking unprinted vials so that they will be easy to photograph and taken simple pictures here of the Stanaplex 50 with my phone. and now as well the Testaplex Suspension 100. I hope there are no critics of my photography abilities
We will offer free ampoules of both suspension and the Stanaplex to members here at ( board name removed so that Axio isn't flooded with freebie requests ) so that you can witness first hand and report back that these are in fact the real deal.
We have no delusions given the market we are in that we are forced to be an underground lab, however we will always produce everything to strict GMP standards in properly equipped facilities to the highest of standards for the most discerning members."
Best of British UG stuff from our London blackmarket shopping trip.
Here you can see their "Dianabol" tabs in bottles of 100 * 10mg ( we all know how I feel about unoriginal names ). Packaging and label are rather basic, at least the bottles are shrink wrapped.
One label feature I did like was the list of tablet ingredients ( binders / fillers ) they have used. IMHO it gives a good indication that whoever designs the labels is also involved in tab production and quality control. Most labs have their tabs pressed by a third party and have no idea what's in them aside from the active ingredient they hope is in there :-)
This is their Equibol 300 ( boldenone undeclynate 300mg/ml ) label and design is again rather plain and not many security features.
Looks to me like hand crimping, label and flip off lid look reasonably straight though.
If anyone reading has any feedback on their usage of recent ProChem products I'll update this post with it.
Evil online organ transplant scam.
Typical of many online scams sites it was run by an American pretending to be an Asian. He was offering organs for transplant in the Philippines.

Discovered: The 'fat controller' in the body that is the key to staying slim
Scientists have pinpointed an enzyme that determines whether the fat we eat is burnt off as energy or stored in the body.
The breakthrough raises the prospect of a pill being developed which targets the enzyme in people, allowing them to eat without worrying about putting on weight.

Lack of originality in product names ?

The rear view.
Each 2ml ampule contains 125/ml for a 250mg/amp total( too weak for me ).
I don't like jabbing more than once in each cheek per week and always leak if go over 3ml no matter how deep.
Don't forget to annoy your supplier by pointing out the MSRP of just 2.61 Euros when you order.
Perhaps the world's largest product insert, it probably accounts for half the weight of each box.
Brown amps look very old fashioned.

More goodies from our London trip - DNA Pharma's Drostanolone propionate.
The logo above belongs to the 'real' DNA Pharmaceuticals it appears they have nothing to do with the European UG lab of the virtually same name who's products I'll be talking about. It took me about 30 seconds to find out the name was already in use, one wonders why the guys behind DNA Pharma couldn't come up with something more original.
DNA Pharma ( the UG lab ) offers a variety of orals :
Stanozol 5mg * 100
Methadrostenolone 5mg * 100
Oxandrolone 5mg * 60
Fluoxymesterone 5mg * 100
and injectables in 10ml vials :
Trenbolone Enanthate 100mg/ml
Trenbolone Hex 76mg/ml
Trenbolone Ace 75mg/ml
Test Prop 100mg/ml
Test Cyp 250mg/ml
Stanozolol 50mg/ml
Methadrostenolone 50mg/ml
Boldenone Und 200mg/ml
A DNA 10ml vial compared to a Norma 2ml.
They did a nice job on the boxes better made than most real pharmacy products.
I'm not very keen on the "Only for research Not for human use" phrase that appears on all their products. ( Is it just me or does it sound like they just don't get the whole research chem loophole thing )
The vial tops are pretty cool too, the raised liquid metal print reminds me of the movie Terminator.
Looks to me like batch and expiry numbers were printed along with the rest of the label rather than added at the actual time of production, at least they match those imprinted on the boxes.
I've yet to see any feedback or lab tests on DNA Pharma products. Time will tell :-)

Interesting study on AS clearance times in horses.
Surprisingly multiple shots of Equipoise / Boldenone had a clearance time over twice that of Deca / Nandrolone ( which has a rep for staying in your system the longest ).
Norma bought in a London gym.
This is a label shot of the current version of Norma Nandrolone being sold in London's gyms. I'm not 100% confident of any product acquired on the blackmarket so I'd be interested to hear opinions from those reading.
Please note the rainbow hologram effect behind the batch number and expiry date. ( It's actually the words "Norma Hellas" in white on a rainbow background but because of the curve of the vial it's very hard to photograph it properly without pulling the label off )

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Rap Sheet.
Obviously I wasn't paying attention when I read the Gov's press releases on this case as I missed many of the charges that the SupplementGenius Blog has highlighted in it's Hi-Tech rap sheet below.
The Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Rap Sheet
- Plotting to kill an FDA agent. (My favorite!)
- Blackmailing an assistant U.S. attorney.
- Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals co-founder is jailed for possession of a “firearm silencer.”
- Using the herbal stimulant ephedra in diet pills after the FDA banned its use.
- Selling supplements that actually contained the active ingredients of prescription drugs to increase the potency of the product.
- Importing and selling steroids. Manufacturing phony ecstasy tablets that were sold on U.S. streets.
- Creating a muscle-building GHB drink but cleverly marketing it as a cleaning solution for your floors in an effort to mislead investigators.
David Jenkins article I missed earlier this month.
"When the former golden boy of British athletics was found guilty of smuggling more than $70m worth of steroids across the border from Mexico into the United States in December 1988 the judge described it as the greatest tragedy to have come before him, then sentenced David Jenkins to a seven-year stretch at the Mojave Desert prison."
