Rick Collins has been interviewed as a legal authority on the topic of anabolic steroids, performance-enhancing substances, and sports nutrition supplements on television and on dozens of radio broadcasts. His comments have appeared in countless online and print publications, including USA Today, ESPN.com, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Village Voice, the Salt Lake Tribune, Newsday and Reason magazine. His practice and accomplished career have been profiled in periodicals as diverse as the prestigious New York Law Journal and the popular MuscleMag International. The Toronto Star (3/26/05) said, "If you're a pro athlete who uses drugs to win, Rick Collins has no patience for you. And if you're a teenager thinking about taking steroids, Collins would beg you to think again. But if you're an adult American in legal trouble over steroid use, Rick Collins is your guy." The "Ask the Doctor" column by Peter Grossman, MD, in the June/July issue of Westlake magazine featured a detailed statement from Mr. Collins about why teenagers shouldn't use steroids. An interesting article to which Rick Collins contributed was "Pumping Up Steroid Hysteria." A good primer on his background may be found in an interview published in IronLife Magazine.

Several steroid-related articles by Eric Dexheimer in the Denver Westword feature Mr. Collins and his practice. One article is entitled "Flexing His Muscle: The Air Force Academy discovered that prosecuting accused steroid-abusers is as tricky as attorney Rick Collins says," while another entitled "What's the Beef?" states: "If you've been busted for steroid possession -- and you're smart -- you call the Long Island offices of Rick Collins."

In his testimony before the United States Sentencing Commission on behalf of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Rick Collins was asked to offer his comments on whether anabolic steroids should be treated the same as other Schedule III controlled substances for the purposes of drug equivalency under the federal sentencing guidelines. 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. He frequently writes about dietary supplement legal issues for various fitness and bodybuilding publications, and is a monthly columnist for the nationally circulated Muscular Development magazine and a member of their Advisory Board.
