Got to start this off by saying 1fast400 and Bulk Nutrition used to be my favorite source when you owned it. Ordered plenty from you guys, NEVER had problems and was always happy with the products. But what I'm reading doesn't seem to jibe.

All IBE has done is prove that Havoc is what it is supposed to be. Think of it this way. IBE has been looking for something, I mean anything, that can put them back into a positive light. They just KNEW this testing was going to do that. Yet, you haven't seen them post the results, eventhough we KNOW they have them in hand and they said they were going to post them last night. They haven't, what does that tell you?
If I recall earlier in the thread you mentioned that you knew they received an email and implied it had something to do with the fact that results had not been posted:

BTW, I have a STRONG feeling we won't see the 60/40 results posted by IBE. IBE if you're reading this, it had to SUCK to get that email this morning didn't it.
Which is I think confirmed with this:
IBE said:
We have been strongly advised to hold off on posting until the COC report is back. We will post all findings at that time....a day or 2. Without COC in tact then like what MM is saying it opens up some legality issues even if it was 3rd party tested.
So it seems you were aware they were advised via email to not post or hold off on posting results and then called them out for not posting results. That doesn't jibe. Then after saying how easy it is to get sued for testing competitor's products and posting results/claims based on those tests you state:

I find it ungodly odd that you have test results in hand from a third party but they're being held up for a chain of custody letter?
Again, sounds off to me. If you've had experience getting sued, and I know you have, then you should understand their need to cover their asses legally just as much as anyone else. More so in fact. If it's the third party aspect that makes posting these result legally okay and which is stopping the posting of other results from other people, then that's legitamate, but then a chain of custody would seem crucial to proving that and covering themselves legally.

There is plenty of factual information out there. If people will take the time, read through the results, they will see what the truth is. The reason some of us get real defensive in our posts is that it is easy for us to understand. We have trouble understanding why others don't get it. It's so simple, but once again, that is because we've dealt with things like this all the time.
What results? To my knowledge
nobody has actually posted results of any kind, merely relayed that they had aquired them but couldn't post them for this or that reason.

I could have the results by monday if IBE would simply allow me to purchase from one of the many board members they have on the IBE boards. I've offered 100 bucks plus I'll pay all the shipping straight to the lab. There is no way a consumer is going to know how to taint those capsules.
How do they know who that board member is and if he's reliable? If it's a mod as you stated earlier then that seems BS on their part. But for all we know PA is registered over there and waiting to take the paypal payment and ship the bottle off to the lab. It would seem a bit far fetched, yes, but from what I've seen from a customer vantage I'm not sure if I'd put anything beyond anyone at this point.

There won't be a lawsuit between IBE/RPN eventhough there is a TON of basis for it. The only reason why is because both companies are selling illegal drugs. IBE knows RPN can't sue them, which is why they have an open field day on slandering them. They know RPN can't take them to court, because they're both selling drugs.
This would seem to apply to
anyone within the industry who is selling such products.

One more time. I SAW THE RESULTS FROM PA'S TESTING SHOWING IT TO HAVE THE INCORRECT MW A WEEK BEFORE. I then decided to test it myself to verify the results.
Results that can't be posted or confirmed mean nothing to anyone, reasons behind not posting/confirming not withstanding, people responsible for the testing not withstanding. Everyone involved in this debate has not posted results to back their statements up, they're
all trading on their reputations.

When I sold hormones, they were legal. When the gov't made a law saying they weren't, I quit selling.
Indeed, and I bought a few and like I said when you owned the place I loved it and had no problems whatsoever with orders. You know how to run a business and you do treat your customers good, no argument here. But this is a bit disingenuous in my view. Steroids are illegal, specifically named or listed in the control act or not. They always were, and some clever nomenclature/marketing and lack of enforcement let a grey market exist until the government cracked down. The same market though smaller still obviously exists and some of the previous popular substances are specifically named now, the wording of the act has been strengthened, but as far as I can see legally we're essentially in the same boat now as before.

Good news, I FINALLY found a bottle at a store. I asked the lab to have it overnighted, we'll see. Either way the TESTING WILL GO ON
As a lot of people, I await the results eagerly, and thank you for stepping up to this particular plate and testing.
