Rick Collins is a bodybuilder. Rick is also an internationally recognized legal authority in the fields of testosterone, anabolic steroids, and other performance-enhancing substances. He is the original “steroid lawyer.”

Doctors prescribe all types of medications, including performance-enhancing medications – assuming they are medically indicated. Doctors who prescribe these medications NEED to understand what the law allows and does not allow. Get this wrong, and you’ll burn. Rick Collins is your “fire-fighter.”
