New Prohormone Hearings Next Week

[Rick Collins]

Senator John McCain of Arizona is convening a committee hearing next Tuesday to investigate prohormones and "designer" steroids, focusing particularly on teen use, claims/marketing, and sports doping.

We live in an era when personal liberties are dwindling. Anyone interested in preserving freedom for mature adults in the nutritional supplement context should let Senator McCain know it. Tell him that scheduling prohormones, as some have proposed, would unjustly catapult the supplements into the Controlled Substances Act – bringing the War on Drugs into our health food stores by authorizing the arrest and imprisonment of health-conscious American citizens for unlawfully possessing these products. Tell him that preventing prohormone sales to teenagers can be accomplished without infringing the rights of informed, health-conscious adults. Tell him that cheating athletes should be punished, but non-competing adults should not.

You can send a typed or handwritten letter to him at:

241 Russell Senate Ofc. Bldg.
United States Senate
Washington D.C., Washington DC 20510
Phone: (202) 224-2235
Fax: (202) 228-2862

Or simply call his office or send a fax. His office has indicated to me that they have received 600 letters already. It can make a difference. For more info, check out the New Forum at www.usfa.biz.

Thanks Rick, as always for leading the fight and keeping us all informed. I'll compose a letter tomorrow.

I was lucky enough to meet up with Rick and his partner Marc again, this Monday and discuss a potential future article with Shawn Assels from ESPN mag. Our board buddy Doggtales met up with us to tell his story. A real enjoyable day with the bros!!!

Shawn Assels seems to be the on that covers the majority of the AS realted stories on ESPN.com. He wrote the story on the british bulldogs as well as some others. I believe I wrote him before but never heard back.

Thanks for the info Rick. And for being an articulate spokesman for those who wish to increase strength without being sent to jail for it.

This prohormone crap isn't going to make my steroids anymore illegal is it?
