I have also recently come across "Deca-durabolin" 1ml amps at 50mg/ml and "Winstrol" 5mg tabs manufactured by Mercoix Labs, France.

These products appear very suspect for a number of reasons:
* The Deca and Winstrol did not come in boxes and do not have package inserts. The Deca comes in white plastic trays of 5 units each and the Winstrol comes in white plastic sealed bottles of 100 tabs each
* The expiry dates and lot numbers are printed in the same colour/type ink as the labels
* The Deca vials have not been very well manufactured with indentations at the top of a few of them. I have also observed that on the bottles of Winstrol the manufacturer's name is spelled differently on the front and on the side!
* The products carry the brand names "Deca-durabolin" and "Winstrol". Mercoix Labs does not have the rights to these trademarks.

I am certain that these products are counterfeits but whether they contain any of the active ingredients is another story. I would like to get this stuff tested but I'm battling to find someone to do it.
