"The man at the center of a controversy that has Peyton Manning denying a report he used human growth hormone (HGH) in 2011 has now recanted his statements.


Cable network Al Jazeera has reported that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and a number of other professional football and baseball players have been linked to an Indiana anti-aging clinic that provides its clients with human growth hormone, among other drugs. (See full report embedded below.)

Now one of the men who Al Jazeera relied on for its bombshell documentary is saying his previous statements were untrue.

"Any recordings of me were made without my knowledge or consent," Charlie Sly, a former employee at the Guyer Institute in Indiana, says in a YouTube statement. "The statements ... are absolutely false and incorrect.""

He did or he didn't.
It was 2011 not yesterday.
Up until 2011 it was legal in the

HGH was illegal in 2011. The issue was the NFLPA refused to cooperate with the testing regime. Shame on them - protecting cheaters.

Given the NFLPA stance, I bet abuse was rampant in recent years. Is also a big problem in the NCAA where testing is a joke.

Sports are littered with HGH..

It sucks that people still go on a witch hunt when these guys get accused.


Manning is hurt and he wants to speed up recovery. I'd be shocked if he wasn't trying HGH.

I don't trust a lot of news sources including Al Jazeera, but I've always thought where there's smoke there's fire. I thought Manning had some exotic stem cell treatment for his neck. It wouldn't surprise me at all even if the treatment program he was on called for HGH.

Why would al-Jazeera fabricate stories about the NFL?

That being said, this actually demonstrates more so the complicity of the NFL and organizations like NBA. HGH was a banned substance in 2011 and this is the first year the NFL tests for it. Additionally, the testing is very easy to pass. NFL can get away with saying they test for it, while 'looking the other way'.

HGH is particularly useful for recovery and in the NBA for example, it's probably ideal because an 82 game season is difficult to play through. The NBA has declared it illegal too, but aren't testing for it.

The problem is the pharmaceutical industry, the laws that protect their monopolies on synthetic drugs and regulations that athletes have to bypass to get the PEDs..

I have a great disdain for PED users. But, I will say that as a neck pain sufferer for the past 15-years who has never suffered trauma anywhere near as close as Peyton did with his injury....if the HGH was for the neck I can really understand.

I've had neck pain and lower back pain. The difference with neck pain is you literally cannot lay down or do anything and not be in pain. And the pain will cause headaches and radiate to your arms. I would like to think (or hope) there would be better treatments than HGH, but I can understand why he did it (if he did it).

I wonder if this will all end up the same way as another American sporting hero who went to Italy for 'medical treatment '. I think this is all the tip of the iceberg and HGH abuse is rampant around the league.

NFL and NCAA need to take testing seriously otherwise our sport is another cycling waiting to happen.
