Peyton Manning Got Caught Juicing? Shocking
Huff Po – An Indianapolis anti-aging clinic supplied quarterback Peyton Manning with human growth hormone, a performance-enhancing drug banned by the NFL, a pharmacist who once worked at the clinic asserts in a new special report from Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit.
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. As a cover story, Collins tells medical professionals tied to the trade of performance-enhancing drugs that he is hoping for one last shot at glory at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Manning is just one of many high-profile players the report names and raises questions about.
The report airs on Sunday but was shared in advance with The Huffington Post.
As part of the investigation, Collins connected with Charlie Sly, a pharmacist based in Austin, Texas, who worked at the Guyer Institute, the Indiana-based anti-aging clinic, in 2011.
Manning missed the 2011 season, when he was a member of the Indianapolis Colts, after undergoing neck surgery. In the documentary, Sly tells Collins, who is taking secret video of his interactions, that he was “part of a medical team that helped [Manning] recover” from the surgery. Sly alleges that the clinic mailed growth hormone and other drugs to Manning’s wife, Ashley Manning, so that the quarterback’s name was never attached to them.
“All the time we would be sending Ashley Manning drugs,” Sly says in the video. “Like growth hormone, all the time, everywhere, Florida. And it would never be under Peyton’s name, it would always be under her name.”
Manning and his wife also came to the clinic after its normal business hours for intravenous treatments, Sly tells Collins on the undercover video.
Manning left the Colts after the 2011 season to sign with Denver. The NFL banned human growth hormone as part of its 2011 collective bargaining agreement with players, but did not begin testing for it until 2014. No player has ever tested positive.
Manning’s agent denied the details of the report to Al Jazeera, calling Sly’s assertions “outrageous and wrong.” But the statement does not deny that growth hormones were shipped to Manning’s wife, only insisting that such matters were a matter of medical privacy.
Manning “has never done what this person is suggesting,” his agent told Al Jazeera. “The treatment he received at the Guyer Institute was provided on the advice of his physician and with the knowledge of team doctors and trainers.”
“Any medical treatment received by Ashley is a private matter of hers, her doctor, and her family,” the agent said.
The guy who broke his fucking neck and still plays football professionally used some human growth hormone? YOU DONT SAY!
But let me say this, I don’t care. I really don’t care at all. Everybody do steroids and entertain me with your superhuman abilities. Just funny that fucking Al Jazeera and the Huffington Post broke this story. Really? Al Jazeera? I legitimately thought that was a terrorist channel that Osama bin Laden used to release terrorist speeches until 5 minutes ago. The Globe is combing through the history of Tom Brady’s best friend because he sold funny beverages and ESPN does 24/7 Brady coverage, meanwhile Peyton’s wife is getting HGH shipments by the truckload and the only person to catch it is the terrorist news network. Just kinda funny, that’s all.
PS – Yo dude, I’m tired of blog life. Call me.
“No one’s got caught, because the system’s so easy to beat,” Robertson, the pharmacist, brags to Collins. “And it still is, that’s the sad fact. I can take a guy with average genetics and make him a world champion.”
PPS – If Peyton’s wife really was taking it then I need them to replicate this pic in order to exonerate him
