Unless you simply don’t frequent any of the bodybuilding message boards, by now you’re aware that GAC’s Masteron-SA was tested and came back as trenbolone acetate. As serious as this was, there is a lot more of the story that has thus far gone untold, or been posted haphazardly in many different threads on several different boards. What follows is a complete look at the FACTS surrounding GAC’s Masteron-SA, which brings into question the validity of GAC’s entire operation and his stellar reputation as a bootlegger.

I want to make it clear that the genesis of this article wasn’t a falling out with GAC. I have alternately endorsed sources that I personally hated because they provided good service, and I have slammed some people that I liked upon finding out that they were somehow scamming people. Such is the case with GAC.

I’ve endorsed GAC on many different occasions, even allowing GAC to use AE as a forum to endorse his new product line. As it turns out, that was a huge mistake on my part. Recently it was brought to my attention that Pat Arnold had tested an open bottle of GAC Masteron and the qualitative results turned out to be trenbolone acetate. This greatly concerned me for several reasons:

1) Selling a product that’s mislabeled is a scam, regardless of what the product actually contains
2) GAC has consistently maintained that he has the highest quality control standards available, rivaling that of legitimate American or European steroid manufacturers
3) I was contacted by several parties with strong evidence proving that GAC had knowingly deceived his customers (more on this later)

Because the initial test was done on an open bottle, I felt it was necessary to have it tested again, and by a party other than Pat Arnold. I have 100% trust in Pat, I’ve known him for quite some time and he’s one of the most honest men I’ve ever met. However, I knew that any testing that was done by Pat that had a questionable outcome would immediately be suspect by those who think Pat has a vendetta against GAC-Bruce-TMag. So, I asked another friend of mine, a PhD chemist with access to a GC/MS to perform initial tests for me, followed up with tests by San Rafael labs in Utah for any product that did not meet label claims.

Unfortunately for GAC and his minions, the product was tested again the morning of 2/18/02 and it again came out as trenbolone acetate, not drostanolone acetate as claimed. This time there was no refuting the results, as the bottle had been sent unopened by me directly to the testing party. Furthermore, another unopened bottle is en route, and upon receipt, will be forwarded to San Rafael for one last test. Because I cannot print the name or location of my chemist (understandably, he does not want his identity compromised), I though it prudent to follow questionable results with testing by a known and recognized lab. In all honesty, this is totally unnecessary, as I know the results will be the same. However, because I agreed to do it, I will stick by my word and have it tested, then post the results for the world to see. GAC has already retracted his earlier statements of indignant defense of Masteron-SA and admitted that he was duped by Chinabases with a phony assay. Or was he?

What follows is a series of emails sent to Chinabases from an associate of mine. He contacted Chinabases under the guise of being the CEO of a fictitious company looking for dromostanolone acetate for research. It clearly shows that Chinabases never sold it (by the way, drostanolone and dromostanolone are simply different names for the same steroid). One of the questions I posed to GAC dealt with this very issue. Unfortunately, GAC has declined to answer any of my questions, so we’re left with the evidence at hand.

Dear Mr. Xu Hai Ke,
Thank you for your prompt response. However I had already done that. I did not see dromostanolone acetate in your "Hormones" list. Does that mean you ran out? Or that you never carried it? If you are temporarily out, could you please tell me price/kg in US dollars? It is extremely important that we find dromostanolone acetate or dipropionate for our research quickly. If you don't carry it, or cannot acquire it for us, please informs us promptly so that we can make alternate plans.

Dear Mr. Xu Hai Ke,
thank you for your quick reply. I am confused because I was told that as recently as last September or October 2001, a company had purchased it from you. They claim to have an invoice from you. Which is why I contacted you. How could this be? Perhaps someone else manufactured and you sold it to them? Any information you can give me will be highly appreciated. We will be contacting you soon about other materials we may need in the future.

Things that make you go hmmmm. Now, this raises some interesting questions, doesn’t it? Chinabases readily admits to my associate that they never sold dromostanolone acetate, yet they went so far as to provide GAC with a phony assay to get him to buy some. Look, Chinabases is a HUGE company. It’s not like it’s 3 Chinese guys sitting around playing dominos laughing about how they pulled one over on another round-eye. What would be the point of lying to GAC to get him to buy dromostanolone acetate when he’s buying ALL of his other products from them? It doesn’t. And if they did, why were they suddenly honest with my associate?

This very same issue was brought up on the Mesomorphosis Message Board. MK responded to allegations that GAC’s Masteron-SA was trenbolone in the following fashion on January 28th:

“claiming masteron is really trenbolone is almost laughable. that being said, the GAC masteron is indeed dromostanolone acetate . . . meaning it is what it's supposed to be, NOT trenbolone. the Humatren is trenbolone acetate . . . the Masteron-SA is dromostanolone acetate. easy enough, right? third, doesn't anyone who believes this nonsense realize how easy it is for us to refute this idiotic claim? how hard is it for me to scan the original manifest from Chinabases which reads "dromostanolone acetate" and post it here? plus we have the lab assay, of course.”

GAC followed that post with a second response on 02/02/02 which read:

“I buy my raw materials from Chinabases. The same company that just about everyone else gets their hormones and prohormones from. I have a CofA from them that clearly reads I purchased drostanolone acetate and it lists all the correct characteristics for it (MP, MW, etc.). I have zero reason to think they'd screw me. They have no reason to and they have never done so before.”

GAC creates several problems for himself here. First of all, his vociferous denunciation of everyone involved in the first test now makes him look like an ass when he’s finally confronted with evidence he cannot refute. Although I’m known to be tenacious and bloodthirsty when it comes to exposing someone, IVE NEVER LIED!! Even those that hate me the most give me that begrudging respect. Well, that is with the exception of GAC, who is now claiming that the only reason I turned on him was because he removed me from his “comp” list. Uhhh…..right.. I am a convicted felon for steroid dealing and I routinely have other steroid dealers mail me packages in order to secure my endorsements. In my spare time, I also run around naked in a sandwich board reading “I’M JUICING COPPERS, AND THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT” in front of the local police station. In truth, I’m 30 years old, and have all my medications prescribed to me by two physicians which is paid for through insurance.

After MK’s initial post, both he and GAC were asked to provide a copy of the manifest from Chinabases. After all, it was he who offered to do so. Guess what? It never appeared. I strongly suspect it never appeared because it doesn’t exist.

Let’s say that in some alternate universe, GAC is telling the truth. He would have to be one of the dumbest people on the planet to defend his position as ardently as he did using nothing but an assay from the very Chinese company that sold him the raw material in the first place. Quite frankly, GAC is not that dumb. He’s a very smart individual, perhaps his only shortcoming is that he’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. How long would it have taken GAC to send a sample to an outside lab to have an independent assay done? Not very long, I assure you, nor is it very expensive. A smart bootlegger would have done this before he even released the product. And believe me, GAC is very smart.

Let’s look at some simple economics and logistics for a moment. GAC supposedly ordered a half kilo of dromostanolone acetate from Chinabases. The math on this is simple, take 75 mg X 20 mg per bottle and you get 1,500 mg per bottle. Multiply this by 300 bottles and you get 450,000 mg. Since there are 1,000 mg in a gram, we divide 450,000 by 1,000 to get a figure of 450 g, which is roughly half a kilo. Since no one sells dromostanolone acetate, we can’t figure out a price, so let’s use the price of another non-aromatizing androgen, trenbolone acetate. A kilo of tren acetate can be obtained in China for about $12,000 right now. So, cutting this figure in half, we can safely guess that dromostanolone acetate would sell for approximately $6,000. Sooo, we’re to believe that Chinabases, a HUGE company that sells ENORMOUS amounts of raw pharmaceuticals to companies all over the world, risked their reputation and formulated a fake assay to make $6,000 from GAC. Ooookaaay……

GAC claims he has his products produced by a legitimate European pharmaceutical company, then smuggled into the US. How? I ask any of you to contact a reputable pharmaceutical manufacturer, here or anywhere else, and ask them to do a specialty run of 300 bottles. Did you hear that click? That was them hanging up on you. Furthermore, let’s say that you did somehow manage to get them to manufacture 300 bottles for you. How in the world does GAC smuggle that into the US? Remember, this is time after September 11th, when a package big enough to contain 300 bottles would certainly be searched by Customs. Ah, but GAC is so smart, he’s able to get all his products past customs without them batting an eye, right? WRONG!! I guarantee you this. If GAC has a manufacturer here or anywhere else, I will personally blow him on a live feed over the Internet. Basically GAC is doing what every other small time bootlegger does, he has raw powder shipped directly to his location and packages everything himself. Look, what does GAC carry? With the exception of trenbolone acetate, all he’s ever carried is products containing anastrozole, clenbuterol, T3, and yohimbine. I can guarantee you that ANY of you reading this board can easily receive shipments of everything but the tren acetate from China with absolutely no problems.

GAC has told me on many occasions that he wouldn’t be able to respond to my queries because he would be out of the country, securing raw materials or on a tour of Europe to find a legitimate steroid manufacturer. Do I have the look of someone who is mentally handicapped? GAC, by his own admission, is a small time operation. He’s not getting incredibly rich by doing this. Do you think someone is flying to China and scouring European pharmaceutical manufacturers to have a relatively small number of bottles of trenbolone acetate and dromostanolone acetate (oops, I meant trenbolone acetate) packaged and shipped to the good ‘ol USA? Furthermore, if he was having a legitimate pharmaceutical firm doing his manufacturing, guess what they would have done for him? An independent assay of his raw material!! “Ok guys, I’m going to pay you to package 300 bottles of Masteron-SA for me, then have it shipped covertly into the US. Oh, and don’t worry about running an assay for me, the Chinese are incredibly trustworthy people!”

GAC has maintained that he is a “graduate level chemist”. Yet, on many occasions, he’s demonstrated a distinct lack of knowledge of chemistry. For example, 20 minutes after I asked my chemist to review the assay that was posted to MK’s website, he contacted me and said he believed it to be a fake. I then contacted Pat Arnold, who confirmed my chemist assessment that the assay was fake. His comments are posted below, followed immediately by the material for Masteron-SA that appeared on MK’s website.

“One thing in particular has me convinced that the lab assay is fake. There can be no such chemical as dromostanolone diacetate. There is only one hydroxyl group on dromostanolone so there is no way it can be derivatized into a Diacetate. This tells me that this GAC guy is not a chemist but a guy who is playing chemist by throwing terms around whose meaning's he has little idea of.”

MASTERON-SA: Finally!
GAC Masteron is here!

GAC does it yet again!

We are introducing something totally special here, something you can't get *ANYWHERE* else on the PLANET. We call it "Masteron-SA" ( SA = Short Acting ) because this product contains dromostanolone acetate (not propionate ). This awesome new product is made side-by-side in the same European pharmaceutical company as the best-selling GAC Humatren ( trenbolone acetate ), so the quality is human grade like the Humatren.

Some of you may be familiar with regular Syntrex masteron, the only other masteron available in the world, available from overseas, which, when you can get it, runs at least $18 per amp and as high as $24 per amp or more. For those not familiar with it, the Syntrex masteron comes in amp form with 2ml per amp and a concentration of 50mg/ml, for a total of 100mg per amp, at a cost of $18-$24 each. The GAC Masteron-SA will be 20ml in volume and the concentration will be 75mg/ml, just like the Humatren, for a total of 1500mg per bottle, so this is the equivalent of 15 amps of Syntrex masteron. Assuming you're one of the lucky few who could get it, you would expect to pay anywhere from $270 to $360 for 15 amps of the Syntrex ( assuming it cleared customs at all ).

BUT because we are the manufacturer and marketer of GAC products, we cut out the middleman and our overhead costs are relatively low, so we are selling the GAC Masteron-SA ( 75mg x 20ml bottle ) for the super low price of $177 !!!

Recent Lab Assay of GAC Masteron-SA

Customers talk and GAC listens for sure!

GAC's new Masteron-SA is the only dromostanolone acetate ever made exclusively for human use and up to human use specification, available in multidose vial format, on planet earth. GAC's new Masteron-SA product starts out as 99.99% dromostanolone acetate powder manufactured in the People's Republic of China where it is then shipped to Spain and blended with benzyl alcohol and oil. It is then filtered, autoclaved and bottled in the exact same manufacturing plant that some of the largest multi-national pharmaceutical companies use to package their high quality, European anabolic steroids. Only GAC could pull something like this off and this is the only place you're going to be able to get this (and all forthcoming) GAC products.

Please note that GAC products (Humatren, Heat Miser, Masteron-SA, Fluidex) are a completely separate business from all the other products on the list. They are shipped separately and from different locations within the U.S. As such, each order of GAC products carries its own $15 S/H fee, regardless of the number of bottles, and the price of GAC products DOES *NOT* FIGURE IN THE $300 MINIMUM ORDER in effect on all the other products. However, there is no minimum order on the GAC products themselves.

Bottom line folks, GAC is simply like any other bootlegger, except he’s got a helluva marketing machine behind him. If any of the other bootleggers had half the marketing prowess of GAC, they’d be making money hand over fist. I really don’t believe GAC is a bad guy, hey, he knowingly sold Masteron-SA as dromostanolone acetate when he knew it was trenbolone acetate. Selling one non-aromatizing androgen in place of another isn’t like knowingly selling a product that contains nothing at all. I bet when we run a quantitative analysis on it, it will come out close to 75 mg/ml of tren. But, it does make him a liar. It makes him a ballsy liar, because he attacked people when he knew he was wrong in the hopes that the mere appearance of impropriety would be enough to save his reputation. And now he’s on a crusade to do the same to me, throwing a bucket load of shit my way and hoping some sticks. Unfortunately for GAC, the facts speak for themselves. Caveat emptor.
