Colts defend Peyton Manning, deny steroid use
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is strongly denying a claim in a documentary alleging that he was among a number of professional athletes who were provided human growth hormone, or HGH, by an in doctor.

“It never happened. Never”.
The allegations surfaced in an Al Jazeera undercover probe into doping in global sports that is set to air Sunday and was shared in advance with the Huffington Post.
“Absolutely not. And what hurts me the most about this is whoever this guy is, this slapstick trying to insinuate that in 2011, when I more or less had a broken neck”, he said. Manning was a member of the Indianapolis Colts at the time. These are false claims made to Al Jazeera, and we don’t believe the report.
Sly has now told ESPN: “When I realized Al Jazeera was using a secret taping and (reporter Liam) Collins as a so-called investigative reporter, I was baffled”.
Manning posted phenomenal statistics – breaking National Football League single-season records for passing yards and touchdowns – in 2012 with the Denver Broncos, only months removed from neck surgeries that threatened to end his career.
“Knowing Peyton Manning and everything he stands for, the Denver Broncos support him 100 percent”.
Earlier in the day, Sly took to YouTube to recant statements he gave to Al Jazeera on a hidden camera interview in which he implicated Manning and his wife, Ashley, as being recipients of HGH through The Guyer Institute.
The NFL collective bargaining agreement, ratified in 2011, banned HGH. Sly claimed the packages were sent to Manning – then a player for the Indianapolis Colts – under his wife’s name, Ashley Manning. “Our organization is confident Peyton does things the right way, and we do not find this story to be credible”.
Manning is now battling foot and rib injuries as the Broncos continue to push for a playoff run with QB at the helm. “I’ve got some built-up anger as you might understand”, Manning said.
Other NFL players included in the Al Jazeera report include James Harrison, Julius Peppers, Dustin Keller and Mike Neal, who were all connected to substances banned by the NFL.
Sly he has since recanted his accusations about Manning to Al Jazeera, but the paper ran them anyways.
“Any further reporting of this matter is a retelling of falsehoods and fiction and complicity in the lack of journalistic ethics demonstrated by Al Jazeera“.
