Al Jazeera accuses Peyton Manning of using HGH, which the QB denies
In one of the most bizarre sports stories of the month, Qatar-based news network Al Jazeera has accused Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning of using performance-enhancing drugs.
Manning, of course, strongly denies that report.
In an investigative documentary called “The Dark Side,” undercover British hurdler Liam Collins set out to expose the widespread nature of PEDs under the guise that he wanted one last shot at Olympic glory.
During the month-long investigation, Collins talked to Charlie Sly, who claimed that Manning took HGH in 2011 to recover from neck surgery. Sly since has recounted his story publicly, according to ESPN, saying he fabricated it and was not expecting it to become part of a news report.
“It stings me, whoever this guy is, to insinuate that I cut corners, I broke NFL rules in order to get healthy. It’s a joke. It’s a freaking joke,” Manning said Sunday.
The Al Jazeera report contended that the Manning family received shipments of steroids and other drugs under the name Ashley Manning, Peyton’s wife. The report also claims that Manning went to the Guyer Institute in Indianapolis “after hours,” as if to imply suspicious activity.
Manning admitted to being a patient of Dr. Guyer for “nutrient therapy, oxygen therapy and other treatments that are holistic in nature but never HGH.” He also said that any treatment his wife receives is her business, and that his wife has never given him any medication.
The Denver Broncos defended the quarterback Sunday in a statement:
“Knowing Peyton Manning and everything he stands for, the Denver Broncos support him 100 percent. These are false claims made to Al Jazeera, and we don’t believe the report. Peyton is rightfully outraged by the allegations, which he emphatically denied to our organization and which have been publicly renounced by the source who initially provided them.”
See that’s how wars get started, spreading slander about ole Peyton. There would already be casualties had he mentioned the king as well. Attacking our TN legends….. Bastard.
Al Jazeera is just another left wing mouthpiece. This Alabama fan thinks that they are full of crap.
Once a cheater always a cheater
^^^^^ From the words of experience… ^^^^^
That incident of your ‘wife’ cheating on you with one of the other livestock still stings, doesn’t it, SevenT?
Didn’t somebody drop a bomb on al jazeera?
yes, it was the united states air force
Silly arabs. They’ve must’ve confused Peyton Manning with Pasha Mahmoud, the esteem Saudi Cricketeer, who was convicted of goat rape in 2001.
Thumps Up/Like Button…
If we had them….
Thumbs up!
Ha! You may be onto something there.
See, SevenT? Goats can’t give consent no matter how much they bat their eyes at you. Sorry to break it to ya, buddy.
As expected, the mere presence of words from a foreign land elicits a racist response from Southern hicks.
Why are Missouri fans allowed to post here. I thought this was an SEC board.
Hasn’t Missouri been the center of most of our country’s recent racial issues? We “Southern hicks” are fascinated to see how Missouri continues to express racial equality.
Go back to your safe area and eat tofu.
A missouri fan talking racism…I think Ferguson is still burning.
Go back to bed Cletus.
THAT IS RICH coming from someone that supports Missouri, which seems to be the cradle of modern-day racism in America! By the way what exactly was racist about the comment TROLL?
Knowing who Peyton is as a man(the guy has always been open with his life inside and outside of football), anyone who believes that story is completely oblivious to who he is, how he’s always played the game, and his character. GG al jacrap.
Peyton is cut by Indianapolis because they felt his neck injury was a career ending injury.
Peyton is out of football for a while and suddenly is playing for Denver and looking completely healed.
That looks like a Barry Bonds / Roger Clements type HGH steroid situation
Peyton Manning the top notch guy that he is, the same guy that pouted and refused to shake hands after he lost the Super Bowl against the Saints, is more than likely guilty. His injury was career ending. He sought treatment at an anti aging clinic instead of a traditional clinic. It is the same clinic that the source of the story confirmed worked at. The source unknowingly made the comments on camera even explaining how the packages were sent to Ashley. The source only retracted his statement after it was acknowledged to be on camera. Will it be proven? Doubtful, but those still claiming Manning is a standup guy and innocent probably still live in their moms basement, eat boogers, never get any, and collect baseball cards.
If you believe that, bless your heart. When Peyton came back to the NFL Lance Armstrong was being crucified for use of steroids in his recovery. Peyton probably has received loads of scrutiny from professionals who are far more credible than this guy. The man is clean and you sir are the booger eater.
If he was so clean why was he being treated for his neck at an anti aging clinic? If he were innocent why not prove what the packages where sent to Ashley? How do you know he is clean? Do you know him personally? So your assumption that he is clean lies solely on yours and every other “Peytonites” man love for Manning.
*were
do you know him personally? do you have any evidence? if you don’t then your assumptions are equally meaningless.
That would be true if it were my assumptions, but this was caught on camera by someone who worked at the anti aging clinic that Peyton Manning went to to seek treatment on his neck. Manning has yet to deny that Ashley received packages from the clinic. And the big question, who goes to an anti aging clinic for treatment from a neck injury? He is obviously hiding something. But who really expects UT fans to use common sense or rational thinking?
bill, i’m watching this UNC Baylor game. WTF happened to USC? now, i understand why you have been investigating this peyton manning story. you’re season is over. hahahahaha i like how you guys say that spurrier brought you guys into relevancy. how long have you had a football team. and FINALLy relevant. hahahahah cocks baby! yea. such a stupid mascot too.
Lol I guess you can’t expect those single digit iq’s in Knoxville to stay on point either. The fact that SC sucks has no bearing on Manning taking HGH for that neck to hold that tank he calls a head up. Speaking of mascots your team is named after the cowards who begged for mercy at the Alamo, lol
yea, well, i know that when i want to know what is going on in the NFL i always turn to al jazeera. i just go to the website and browse to their sports page. and i don’t know if he did it. but i don’t think he did. BUT if he did, i don’t care. his head was dislocated. he could spin it around. if he did, i would be happy. whatever those doctors learned shooting ol peyton up in the neck, then maybe it will help me out when i break my neck. maybe they’ll find the next viagra. who knows.
a chicken or a group of people who volunteered to kill indians? really? you think you can compare those two? only a usc fan would get all fired up over some BS circumstantial “evidence”. peyton destroyed USC on a regular basis. you all probably thought he was gonna come over there to coach for you. haha go back and worship your bronze spurrier statues. they were putting up statues of the guy and even he left USC in mid season hahaha
The Vols are named after the same group that quit mid way through the Alamo and begged to leave behind women. The Vols will always be known as cowards just as their players will always be known as criminals. You can’t spell sexual assault without UT. And now Peyton will always be known as a cheat as well as a choke artist.
yea you’re right. manning will be remembered as a cheat. sure. go polish that spurrier statue. it’s as close to a national championship trophy you guys will ever get at usc. congrats on the great season.
Since UT folks are so dumb, Why don’t you prove how hard it is to graduate from South Carolina? What educational programs is South Carolina a leader in? Do you have a rocket scientist for a quarterback? What percentage of your football players graduate? And now let’s talk Athletics! How many national championships does your football team have? SEC championships? Hell okay then, how about just division titles? How many jobs have all the starting quarterbacks in your programs history created? How much have they given back to the University? I for one don’t really care if Peyton did HGH or not. Football has been rampant with drugs for years, whether it’s steroids, greenies, focus factor, HGH, etc. Think about this , what do you think the odds are that the player that caused Peytons injury was on something? After all there was no testing then. Finally, I’m not one to bash other universities and fan bases, I get more enjoyment out of watching my team succeed and do well and what does it say about my team or players when I talk about how awful yours are. Doesn’t say much for the competition we play huh? Its kinda like that stupid overrated overrated chant you hear at basketball games. Which only shows the ignorance and stupidity of that fan base. Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback in SEC history but that’s only a small portion of who the man really is. One final point, if you have such a problem with cheaters Mr Bill Lets Party Belichick then why would you have the name bill lets party Belichick? Checkmate
Actually thanks for bringing up academics, not only is entry into USC tougher than TN, but USC has a graduation rate of 70% to TN’s 62%. USC is actually in the top 100 in several fields and those can be found with a simple web search. Of course you can’t expect facts to come from someone who states they do not care about the integrity of the game. And to list Manning as the best QB in SEC history is a joke , after all he has as many National Championships as any Lowly Gamecocks QB in history.
if it makes you feel better go ahead and believe the accusations put forward by an unpaid intern. but you or that chuck sly dude won’t have any bearing on manning’s legacy. he is one of the greatest quarterbacks in history. he is also a better play caller than any usc coach including spurrier. you may think you’re smarter than everyone in tennessee, but you’re gullible enough to believe circumstantial accusations made by an unpaid intern. enjoy bowl season.
