Al Jazeera reporter: We never accused Peyton Manning of taking HGH

An Al Jazeera investigative piece, The dark side: The secret world of sports doping, included allegations that human growth hormone (HGH) had been sent to the Denver quarterback’s wife, and suggested he had used it following a potential career-ending neck injury.

The report claimed that steroids and other drugs were shipped to Manning’s home in 2011 in the name of his wife, Ashley, so that the quarterback’s name was never attached to the shipments.

The man who allegedly gave Manning HGH – which was said to have been prescribed to Manning’s wife, Ashley, in the Al Jazeera report – released a statement on YouTube (watch above).

“That has nothing to do with me”.

“When I was there, I had never seen the Mannings ever”, Sly said about the player and his wife, Ashley, and the medical and health facility where he worked, according to ESPN.

Charlie Sly, the pharmacist whom the network secretly recorded making the explosive allegations about Manning and others, has recanted his own words.

“We told Al Jazeera that and they don’t seem to be concerned with the truth”, Cartmel said. “And to insinuate anything otherwise is a complete and total joke and it’s defamation and it really ticks me off”, Manning said. “But it really makes me sick”.

“The only allegation in the program from Charlie Sly is that growth hormone was sent repeatedly from the [anti-aging clinic] Guyer [Institute] to Ashley Manning in Florida”, Davies said Tuesday morning. While Al jazeera claims he was working at the institute in 2011, they added that sly fabricated this whole thing for reasons they can’t fathom and he wasn’t there when manning was being treated.

Brady obviously has had plenty of experience denying questionable allegations this year with the Deflategate controversy, but he said he doesn’t feel the need to offer Manning advice.

Will NFL get Manning investigation right?

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) watches from the sideline as his team is losing to the Denver Broncos in the fourth quarter of an NFL football game in Pittsburgh, Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015. “Like growth hormone, all the time, everywhere, Florida”.

Guyer said Sly had no patient responsibilities and has had no affiliation with the clinic since his unpaid internship from February-May 2013. The 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, who has five sacks this season, isn’t going to issue a denial like Manning. He was consistent, he was calm, he was absolutely not badgered.

Al-Jazeera published Monday the recording of Davies’ call to the clinic to attempt to verify Sly’s employment history.

“I fully support Peyton and my friendship with him”.
