Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has been linked to a doping ring in a report by Al Jazeera, released to The Huffington Post.
The report, titled “The Dark Side,” follows British hurdler Liam Collins, an undercover investigator who connects with Charlie Sly, a pharmacist who worked at the Indiana-based anti-aging clinic Guyer Institute in 2011.
In a secret video, Sly told Collins he was “part of a medical team that helped [Manning] recover” from the neck surgery that forced Manning to miss the entire 2011 season.
Sly said the clinic mailed growth hormone and other drugs to Manning’s wife, Ashley, to avoid linking Peyton's name to shipments.
Human Growth Hormones were banned by the NFL in 2011 as part of the league's collective bargaining agreement with players. The NFL did not start testing until 2014.
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.”
Sly also said both Mannings came to the clinic after hours for intravenous treatments.
Manning’s agent denied the allegations to Al Jazeera, according to The Huffington Post.
“Any medical treatment received by Ashley is a private matter of hers, her doctor, and her family,” the agent said.
Sly also said he provided the performance-enhancing drug Delta-2 to NFL players Mike Neal, Julius Peppers and James Harrison. Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, Washington Nationals infielder Ryan Zimmerman and boxer Mike Tyson were also named.
Harrison, Zimmerman and Howard denied the allegations, while Peppers, Matthews and Tyson did not comment.
The report is set to air Sunday.
