Rick Collins' Testimony to the U.S. Sentencing Commission on Anabolic Steroids

Rick Collins testified before the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC) on behalf of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. The USSC had sought comments on whether federal AAS offenses should be treated with stiffer punishments, such as by changing the way AAS quantities are calculated. Rick submitted the following written testimony. He also offered more extensive oral testimony on a variety of additional points, including the fact that many of the products now classified as "AAS" were sold to health-conscious consumers nationwide as dietary supplements just months ago. As a result of the testimony, the Commission voted not to increase AAS penalties at this time, instead requesting more time to study the complexities of the issue.
