Background
LEGAL MUSCLE is authored by celebrated lawyer Rick Collins, Esq., the nationally recognized legal authority on muscle-building drugs and the founder of
http://www.SteroidLaw.com/! Rick has literally "written the book" on anabolics and the law, having been involved in more steroid legal cases than any lawyer in
America.
He has personally handled steroid matters from New York to California and at the borders of Canada and
Mexico. Bodybuilders, Olympic athletes, professional wrestlers, sports coaches, personal trainers, federal
criminal lawyers, state public defender offices, physicians, pharmacists, military servicemen, supplement
companies and even the internal affairs unit of a major metropolitan police force have consulted with him.
Rick frequently writes for fitness and bodybuilding publications, and is a monthly columnist for the nationally
circulated Muscular Development magazine and a member of their Advisory Board. He has been interviewed
as an authority on network television, in talk radio interviews and by numerous online and print publications,
including ESPN.com, The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Village
Voice, the Salt Lake Tribune, and Reason magazine. He has written extensively on the topic of illicit steroid
use for legal publications including the Criminal Justice Journal of the New York State Bar Association and
The Champion, the publication of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
Rick handles a variety of "alternative" drug cases with connections to fitness or bodybuilding. For example,
Rick recently won a spectacular victory in the Southern District of New York when he succeeded in getting a
criminal indictment dismissed after extensive motions and evidentiary hearings. In a stunning defeat to
prosecutors that may have countrywide implications, Rick convinced the Court that the Analogue Statute was
unconstitutionally void for vagueness as applied to 1,4-butanediol, a substance commonly sold as a cleaning
solution but alleged by the government to be an analogue of GHB. [The Court's bold and brilliant decision is
reproduced in the Articles section of SteroidLaw.com.]
Rick is also leading the fight against the attacks by powerful special interest groups on over-the-counter
nutritional supplements and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). As General
Counsel for the United Supplement Freedom Association, Inc. (USFA, online at www.usfa.biz), a not-for-profit coalition of individuals and companies with grave
concerns about the future of dietary supplement freedom in America, he is organizing the scientific community to educate America on the topic and mobilizing
resistance to a new Congressional bill which seeks to schedule all steroid precursors as controlled substances. If the disturbing proposed law passes, mature,
health-conscious adults unlawfully possessing anti-aging products including DHEA and androstenedione would be branded federal criminals and face jail time!
Clients and their lawyers from all over America pay Rick Collins thousands of dollars for the opportunity to access his encyclopedic knowledge of anabolic steroids
and their legal consequences! HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of hours of Rick's valuable time went into the research and writing of this remarkable and unprecedented book! Now LEGAL MUSCLE is yours for a tiny fraction of that cost, to refer to again and again!
