Product Description

What's inside? At well over 400 pages, EVERYTHING anyone could ever want to know about steroids and the law! Read the true details of recent anabolic steroid investigations, arrests and prosecutions from all across America. Chapter topics include...

Ordering steroids via the Internet; mail deliveries and seizure notices; importing steroids at the border; Fourth Amendment privacy protections; automobile stops and searches; Miranda rights; the psychology of police interrogation (the secrets about why the overwhelming majority of suspects [84% in a 1994 survey] waive their Constitutional rights -- a potentially devastating mistake!); teenagers and steroids; soldiers and steroids; and much, much more!

Twenty-five chapters and four appendices! With detailed accounts of case after case culled from Rick's own extensive steroid files. It's all in here: real world stories about everything from simple personal possession to major trafficking. Discover how anabolics work, what the medical literature really says about them, and how the media have presented "less than the truth." Read how steroids came to become controlled substances (shocking!) and how they are treated today under federal statutes and sentencing guidelines (including the first-ever reference table to apply steroid quantities to the federal guidelines). LEGAL MUSCLE even covers the anabolic laws and sentencing ranges of all fifty states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico – a veritable treasure trove never before available anywhere – not even to lawyers!!!

Bridging the gap between the legal world and the muscle world, it's mandatory reading for defense lawyers and prosecutors, and for police officers and federal law enforcement agents, judges, and, of course, those who stand accused. Nobody -- absolutely NOBODY-- should be inside a courtroom on an anabolic steroid case without LEGAL MUSCLE!

From the Publisher
LEGAL MUSCLE by Rick Collins, J.D., author of SteroidLaw.com, blows the lid off America's real "dirty little secret" about steroids! It's the brand-new, hot-selling, ultimate expose on non-medical anabolic steroid use in America. This certified blockbuster is absolutely essential reading for natural and "juiced" bodybuilders alike, as well as for coaches, sports trainers, physicians, journalists and anyone in the criminal justice system!

From the Author
Anabolic steroid seizures and arrests are up. Way up. Who's being arrested for anabolic steroids? Not competitive athletes. When was the last time you heard about an Olympic athlete or football star being criminally prosecuted for steroids? Oh, they test positive for steroids from time to time, but are punished only by being banned from play. The startling truth is that the people getting arrested today for anabolic steroids are your friends and neighbors. They are otherwise law-abiding mature adults who are using steroids for personal cosmetic improvement and are caught when their steroids are intercepted in the mail by U.S. Customs or Postal Inspectors.

Maybe you’re a bodybuilder with a personal interest in steroids and an urgent need to know what to expect from a police encounter. Maybe you’re a criminal defense lawyer, prosecutor, law enforcer, or judge seeking a comprehensive resource on state and federal steroid laws. Maybe you’re a provider of health care services, a personal trainer, or an athletic coach seeking an unbiased review of the medical literature. Perhaps you’re a parent or guardian of a teenager interested in anabolics, or a journalist investigating the increasing number of steroid seizures and arrests. Or maybe you’re just curious about how some unenlightened laws and social policies can lead to more significant harms than the ones they were intended to prevent. Whatever has brought you to Legal Muscle, inside you’ll find a wealth of information available nowhere else, along with some surprises.

-- Rick Collins, JD

Customer Reviews

Nice book
Contains its fair share of legal info regarding anabolic steroids. Not all info is accurate, but most is fairly reliable.

STOP! Read This Book First!
I've always been interested in anabolics and never could find good, solid, unbiased information that I wanted on the subject. When I read this book it really answered a lot of my questions. It opened my eyes to the legal part of the matter and how someone can get themselves in a legal mess when you don't know the basics. This book lays it all out where steroids and the law can easily be understood and I really enjoyed it. If you are even thinking about going to a website or local dealer to get your gear, you owe it to yourself to get this book and read it first. Whats 20 or 30 bucks compared to a possible felony charge?

Get a local lawyer
Steroids are drugs like any other. If you get in trouble, you are far better off with a local lawyer. Rick has made a fortune by catering to this niche, and while this book DOES tell you all the specifics about steroid law, you can find that info for free online. It kills me when people hire this guy, fly him across the country, and expect he can do something that their local lawyer cannot. Rick doesnt even win his cases.

This book is good for basic info, but it doesnt tell you anything you cant find out on your own, for free, online.
