Al Jazeera deny accusing Manning of doping
By now, you’ve heard about the Al Jazeera documentary which alleged Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had HGH shipped to his house under his wife’s name.
A man claiming to have been affiliated with the Guyer Institute of Molecular Medicine in Indianapolis was secretly recorded saying that the clinic mailed human growth hormone to Manning’s wife, Ashley, to ensure that the legendary quarterback was never connected.
The latter may explain why Deborah Davies, the Al Jazeera reporter, did her best during an appearance on The Today Show to note there are no allegations against the Broncos quarterback. Instead, Hirgen said the Al Jazeera report alleges that there were multiple shipments of HGH to Manning’s wife in Florida, and the Al Jazeera producer says the network stands behind that reporting.
At the very same time when the news about the scandal involving Brady surfaced, Manning was there to support him, pretty much similar to what Brady’s doing right now for his good friend.
Dale Guyer of the Guyer Institute said in a statement that Sly had a “brief three-month internship” there in 2013, “during which time Peyton was not even being treated or present in the office”, Guyer said. Manning spent the 2011 season recovering from multiple neck surgeries that threatened his career. “Whoever said this is making stuff up”, Manning said in a personal statement that was released through the Broncos.
“We are thoroughly familiar with Peyton’s tireless work habits, his medical history, and, most importantly, his integrity”, the Colts said.
What is going to end up happening is a he said, she said type of battle.
The Denver7 Investigators also looked into the background of Charles Sly, the pharmacist who made the allegations about shipments to Manning’s wife on Al Jazeera’s undercover video. This morning, Peyton manning’s pr rep firing back, former white house press secretary Ari Fleischer saying the reporter on the dark side is now backtracking and retreating correcting her own reporting using this line as evidence. The documentary clearly suggests Peyton Manning did something wrong.
The report, “The Dark Side”, is the result of a monthslong investigation in which Liam Collins, a British hurdler, went undercover in an attempt to expose the widespread nature of performance-enhancing drugs in global sports.
Sly has previously retracted the claims he made in the Al Jazeera documentary.
The NFL added HGH to its list of banned substances in 1991, and the players and league agreed to test for it in 2011, when the collective bargaining agreement was ratified.
The documentary throws in Manning as nearly an afterthought because he is the biggest name that Sly talked about.
