Al Jazeera is now claiming that they never said HGH was sent to Peyton Manning but rather Ashley Manning
The reports about Peyton Manning taking HGH have went from strange to somewhat more strange. After Al Jazeera’s report about HGH being sent to Peyton Manning in Florida, Manning quickly said the report was garbage. Now the reporter responsible for the story is saying that the report doesn’t claim that Manning used HGH.
“We have not said that in the program,” Deborah Davies said, via SportsBusiness Daily. “The only allegation in the program from Charlie Sly is that growth hormone was sent repeatedly from the Guyer [Institute] to Ashley Manning in Florida. We’re not making the allegation against Peyton Manning.”
“Let’s make it clear what the allegation is. The allegation in the program is very simple, that when Charlie Sly worked in the Guyer [Institute] doing part of his training . . . the clinic was sending out not one shipment but repeated shipments of growth hormone to Ashley Manning in Florida. That’s it.”
He went on to say that the drugs were sent in Ashley Manning’s name.
“All the time we would be sending Ashley Manning drugs,” Sly said, via the original (and now updated) Huffington Post item on the matter, which touched off a firestorm. “Like growth hormone, all the time, everywhere, Florida. And it would never be under Peyton’s name, it would always be under her name.”
