I am incredulous at the test results so far. They do not reflect my own experiences or the experiences with ugl products people have said they had that I trust. Time will tell...
I want to comment on this ^^ statement as well. I urge everyone to please not overgeneralize the results. Only 5 labs and 4 products were tested. In no way should anyone interpret this testing to be a cross-section of the UGL market or representative of the quality of products found in the overall AAS black market.
The selection of manufacturers and products was highly targeted. AnabolicLab didn't choose UGLs or products randomly. We didn't choose products/manufacturers that were most likely to fail. We chose products from manufacturers that were "supposed to be" good/better based on various criteria.
We selected the most popular labs and the most popular products. The relative popularity of the labs may be in dispute but I think most people agree that the labs tested -- particularly Alpha PHarma, Balkan, Geneza, Pharmacom -- account for a significant market share.
Selection criteria:
(1) have the most users;
(2) have been around 5+ years (Geneza/Pharmacom) or even 10+ years (Balkan/Eurochem);
(3) are the best funded/financed
(4) make the boldest claims e.g. legally-registered company (Balkan/Alpha Pharma); own their own pharmaceutical quality facilities (Balkan/Pharmacom); use contract pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities (Alpha Pharma); perform their own regular internal quality control verification (Alpha Pharma/Balkan/Geneza/Pharmacom);
Taken together, the targeting of manufacturers meeting criteria (1), (2), (3) and (4) may have increased probability of better results than what would have been expected in a random cross-section of the entire UGL market.
The first batch of results should NOT be considered representative of the underground market as a whole. It really can't even be considered representative of the all batches of and all products of the selected manufacturers.
