Properly cared for, race gas has a shelf life of approx. 2 years unopened. After being opened it's half of that. It can still be used, it just might not have the performance that it did when fresh.
Anytime the racer plays a part in the fuel check process, then it's up to the racer to be certain he's doing his part correctly. You should use a very clean container for the sample. You should cover the sample to keep out contaminants. .You should always keep the sample out of direct sunlight.
As for paying a premium for a product that doesn't do what it should, change brands.
