‘Beauty terror’ driving young men to abuse steroids.

More Antisteroid propaganda from the Times ( London UK ) The report on AS use due on Monday should be an entertaining read though.

"Fat, it used to be said, was a feminist issue. But that was before the birth of the metrosexual, and his modern nemesis – the “moob”.

Now, drug specialists are reporting an alarming rise in the number of body-conscious young men who are turning to the illegal use of anabolic steroids to improve their physique. Meanwhile, the number of men seeking breast reduction surgery to correct so-called “man boobs” is expected to hit a record high in a new report to be released on Monday."

Feds level steroids charges against Mobile pharmacy and it's employees.

"Federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents this morning ( Thursday ) arrested the owners of a local online pharmacy on charges that they filled hundreds of illegal prescriptions for anabolic steroids."

Gym has 'human weights' ? Crazy PR stunt from UK.

Members of Gymbox a central London gym, can choose to lift any of five differently sized "human weights".

Xu's adverts still running on Chinese trade websites ?

I found a few of Xu's adverts still running, obviously it would not be a good idea for anyone to respond to them as we have no idea who currently controls his email accounts.

" We cooperate with top & famous companies in the world and we have have our own labs and development center "

News item on shipping contraband via mail carriers.

It seems false sender's details are very common.

China's most wanted pharmaceutical counterfeiter jailed for 6 and a half years.

A citizen of the People's Republic of China known as Mr. Xu was sentenced on Thursday to 6 and a half years in prison for distributing counterfeit and misbranded pharmaceuticals in the United States. Xu was arrested in August 2007 but only went to trail a year later. Xu denied knowing the drugs he exported were counterfeit despite openly discussing it in emails to investigators posing as potential buyers. Prosecutors claim Xu even owned the factory the drugs were made in. Xu was lured to US soil by investigators with the promise of huge deal and then arrested.

Counterfeit medicine. Real danger ?

Pfizer launches a new anti-counterfeiting "Real danger" campaign in Europe.

Ad claims counterfeit products can contain amongst other things rat poison.




IMHO if Pfizer really wanted to stop counterfeiting of Viagra they should simply lobby for it to become an OTC product and drop it's cost to around $2 a tab :-)

Free reship anyone ?

UPS mistakenly delivers a package containing 15 kgs of Mary Jane to the wrong address, the unintended recipient finds it on his porch and takes it to his local police station :-)

DEA raid on Ergopharm confirmed, no arrests so far.

Not sure how well PA is doing financially due to all this but he is now a major celebrity in the world of sports. He might be able to quit his day job and write a book and later have it turned into a movie.

PA is quite a good looking guy, he could either play himself or they could cast Robert Downey Junior to play him as in my eyes they look quite similar.

Brian W of GenXXL bust fame wanted in Canada ?

"He was also ordered to have no contact with his two co-accused, Glenn England and Brian Wainstein, who are both still facing charges of conspiring to traffic steroids. England, 38, is slated to appear in Court of Queen's Bench Jan. 16 to set a trial date. There is a warrant out for the arrest of Wainstein, 43, who is believed to be in Ireland."

Is it possible that the person who promoted GenXXL on many boards and used the handle "England" was really called "Glenn England" and lived in Canada rather than being an English guy using the handle ?

"Better yet, have your screen name be “England” or something brilliant like that, and then sell steroids on a public website from “England”. " ( this quote taken from AR blog link to the story no longer works but the highlights can be found on the Meso Link above )

Anonymous browsing service VPN4Life turns out to be a scam.

VPN4Life was a Virtual Private Network service offering a lifetime of anonymous browsing for just $50. Turns out what they were really doing was simply re-packaging the totally free HotSpotShield service.

( It works great if you use InternetExplorer, I've yet to get it working with Firefox )

British Dispensary "production has resumed".

My favorite Thai pharmacy is once again stocking British Dispensary products.

I'd always wanted to take a close look at the new yellow Anabol 10's so took my opportunity to buy a few tubs.

The first thing that surprised me was just how small the tubs are, here's a pic of a tub standing next to it's older brother.



Inside each tub there's a nice thick sealed plastic bag holding the 500 tabs and desiccant sachet.


If you remove the actual tabs and put them back into the tub you'll see there's plenty of space.

I was pleased to find that you can squeeze an entire k of tabs into each tub. That's great news for those of you who want to transport them outside Thailand and makes me think the days of the 5mg pink version are numbered.


The only notable security feature of the Anabol 10 design is it's hologram. I'm no expert on holograms but I'm pretty sure their are companies in India and China that could easily duplicate the ones BD are using.

Here's two different views of the current hologram design :





The hologram will of course tear if you attempt to remove it.

The more observant amongst you may have noticed that the date of manufacture of the tubs I bought this week appears to be 28/11/08, that's strange because it means this particular batch was made during the period that BD was claiming it had no access to raw materials from China.

The Xmas period is the high season for tourists in Thailand when BD probably sells more Anabol than any other time of the year so why on earth would they deliberately withhold stock from pharmacies ?

A good start to the year !

My local pharmacy is claiming that British Dispensary products are back in production !

Even the mythical 15mg blue tabs should be available later this month :-)
