VERY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS, LEGALLY-from Rick Collins
************************************************** *****
I testified before the USSC today. Went well -- they seemed interested in
my opinions. You can read my written testimony as well as the prosecution's
at...

Mine is at...

I also had the opportunity to testify orally, and went into much
more detail. One very important point I raised is that many of the products
now classified as "anabolic steroids" were sold to health-conscious
consumers nationwide as dietary supplements just months ago!!! And now,
they're looking at increasing the punishments (via unit calculations) by 50
TIMES!

Updates on my activities will be found at a new site:

See ya,

This can be the most significant situation Rick or steroid activists have had
imput towards, to stop the steamrolling negativity that has developed, legally,
towards anabolic steroids. Much thanks to Rick for continuing to be a warrior
in our difficult cause.

THIS IS FROMTHE LAWYERS GROUP CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES SENTENCING COMITTIE:

******************************************
Rick,
The Commission voted not to increase steroid penalties at this time. I think your written and oral testimony must be credited for the Commission not taking action at this time because you alerted them to the complexity of the issues involved with steroid use.
My understanding is that they are asking Congress for emergency authority to consider steroid penalties to give themselves time to study the issues. Without emergency authority, the Commission must submit amendments to Congress no later than May 1 of the year. If the Congress takes no action to disapprove the amendment, it goes into effect on November 1.
With emergency authority, the Commission can continue to consider the issues and submit an amendment to Congress outside those deadlines.
*******************************************

IN OTHER WORDS WE HAVE MADE GREAT STEPS IN WINNING A SMALL BATTLE IN THE WAR! SO YOU ALSO HAVE THE POSSIBLE BAN ON EPHEDRA
BEING LIFTED...LETS KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT THIS IS A TREND!

TO ALL THE NAYWAYERS WHO SAY WE CANT MAKE A DIFFERENCE- :p

THANKS A MILLION, RICK!
