MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT, JUNE 2005
QUESTION:
I heard there are new fakes of british dragon going around that
look really sharp.
Have you heard about these?
How do i spot them?
ANSWER:
There are indeed fakes of the British Dragon line circulating. Bd
has become one very poopular company over the past few years. BD is
in such high demand, however, that the counterfeiters just cannot
resisit knocking them off.
Ive been in direct contact with the company for some time now and
they have been finding themselves in constant need of upgrading
their security features to stay one step ahead of the crooks.
First they used holograms, which were quickly copied. Custom pill
dyes - they knocked tese off, too. Then they started using foil
inlays in tehir vial labels. These, too, were duplicated very
quickly. In ANABOLICS 2005, at the advice of the company
principle, i mentioned the need to examine the plastic tops fo the
words "TEAR AND FLIP UP".
At the time of publication, the coutnerfeiters, had not located
these specific vial tops and were using ones that read only "FLIP
TOP". It was a good way to catch them. But not one month later
after ANABOLICS 2005 hit the bookshelves, one persitent russian
counterfeiter found the correct BD tops and released yet another
wave of excellent-looking fakes consumers were ill prepared for.
Pictures of one of these recent fakes , next to the last version of
real BD product to be sold, are included for your review. These new
fakes have everything, including the foil and correct tops. Only
the lettering is a little off!
So, what was BD left to do with yet another high-quality fake to
compete with?
What any enterprising steroid company would do; they are upgrading
their security features again. From now on, all new lots of
injectable-molded customer rubber stoppers. Thats right. A first
for any steroid company, the rubber stoppers from BD will now carry
the company logo right in the rubber. Given the high cost involved
in a project like this, lets hope its enough to deter the fakers
for a while.
