should still be good, i once used a bottle of Steris Enanthate that had been expired for a year and got good results, all that happens is that the potency decreases by maybe 10 percent a year.

it also says on the bottle store at 8-30C so would boiling it wreck it? It's Equi-Bol 200 from Apex Pharmaceuticals

I would not use it if you pierced the stopper and it sounds like you have.  2 years is just too long for the nasties to do their thing.  Its just a half a bottle anyhow 30-40 bucks?

I agree. even 100.00 a bottle isnt worth the risk.

It really depends on the sterile technique used initially.  If its a clean product (ie pharmaceutical grade as an example) that you use alcohol on the stopper before and after you  draw it up, with a new/sterile needle and syringe, the risk is minimal.  If its anything else, there is a risk.  That risk goes up exponentially depending on the manufacturing methods used for a given drug.  Remember, most injectable drugs with long shelf lifes have some form of bacteriostatic agent in them. 

You could always consider trying to filter the bottle with a micron filter, but thats not fullproof and if you use a dirty filter/needle/syringe it could contaminate things even more. 

Boiling it will probably ruin it.
