Peyton Manning was supplied with human growth hormone - a performance-enhancing substance banned by the NFL - a pharmacist has claimed

Peyton Manning was supplied with human growth hormone - a performance-enhancing substance banned by the NFL - a pharmacist has claimed

Peyton Manning has hit back at claims that he was supplied with a human growth hormone - a performance-enhancing substance banned by the NFL.  

In a report which is set to air on Al Jazeera today a pharmacist claims the Denver Broncos quarterback received human growth hormone through his wife during his recovery from neck fusion surgeries in 2011.

In a statement Saturday night, Manning said: 'The allegation that I would do something like that is complete garbage and is totally made up. It never happened. Never.'

He added: 'I really can't believe somebody would put something like this on the air. Whoever said this is making stuff up.'

The star quarterback had the Guyer Institute ship the substance out to his wife, Ashley, so he was not directly linked to the scheme, according to the claims made by a former worker in an undercover investigation by Al Jazeera.

Charles Sly, who used to work at the clinic, boasted about the center supplying the five-time league MVP with the hormone in Indianapolis.

Manning has denied the claims and Sly - who was secretly recorded making the allegations - retracted everything he said after learning he had been covertly filmed.

The special investigation, which has been seen by the Huffington Post, shows Sly telling British amateur hurdler Liam Collins he was 'part of a medical team that helped [Manning] recover' from neck surgery.

Sly claims the Guyer Institute, in Indianapolis, mailed human growth hormone to Manning's wife, Ashley, so the then Colts player would not be caught.

'All the time we would be sending Ashley Manning drugs,' Sly boasts. 'Like growth hormone, all the time, everywhere, Florida. And it would never be under Peyton's name, it would always be under her name.

'Him and his wife would come in after hours and get IVs and s***'. 

Human growth hormone, along with other performance-enhancing drugs, is banned by the NFL and no one has tested positive for it since it was outlawed in 2011. The league has only been routinely testing players for it since 2014.

The hormone - which can be used to increase muscle and improve athletic performance - is produced naturally in the human body, but this production slows down with age. Some people inject it, along with steroids, to increase athletic performance.

Mrs Manning could have been taking human growth hormone for its supposed anti-ageing properties, but this is not known. 

If the allegations are true, they would tarnish the legendary career of Manning, who is a five-time NFL MVP and whose accolades include winning the Super Bowl with the Colts in 2007 and being the former highest valued player.

At 39, Manning is one of the oldest active players in the NFL.

Manning's salary is reported to be in the region of $15million a year, and he has also made money advertising Nationwide, Papa John's and DirecTV, among others. 

Collins secretly recorded Sly making the claims after telling him he wanted to try and make the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. 

WHAT ARE THE MEDICAL USES OF HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE?

Human growth hormone (HGH) is naturally produced in the pituitary glands and causes the body to grow.

It also helps to regulate muscle, fat and bone growth, among other things.

It was first developed for synthetic use in 1985 to treat specific developmental diseases, but is more commonly used by people who want to build muscle.

People with HIV/Aids use it to tackle muscle-wasting disease, as well as young children with developmental disorders and babies born prematurely.

Natural HGH production slows as people age, and some people believe injecting it can slow the ageing process, however this is not proven.

Al Jazeera alleges that Sly and his associates supplied Collins with performance-enhancing drugs, and that Sly did work at the clinic that treated Manning.

Sly also tells Collins that other footballers take performance-enhancing drugs. 

As well as being an athlete, Collins ran a property investment scheme until 2013, when he was banned from directing companies for 14 years.

He was found to have swindled unsuspecting members of the British public in a phantom multi-million pound property scheme.

He and his cousin and business partner David Bone amassed $1,296,000 from investors, who were promised returns as high as 10 percent on their investment in the Collins and Bone property scheme, which purported to make money out of buying and renovating houses to rent to students.

The business partners launched the scheme early in 2009 but investigators looked into the case after they declared bankruptcy in May 2012, with debts amounting to $6.6million each. 

Collins is also known for appearing on TV show Britain's Got Talent in 2009, reaching the semi-finals as part of a dance act.  



An earlier statement released by Manning's agent did not deny that growth hormones were sent to his wife, saying information about her health is private. 

Manning 'has never done what this person is suggesting,' his agent said. 

'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.' 

Sly also mentioned a number of other football and baseball players, saying they too had taken banned substances.

WHO HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF TAKING BANNED SUBSTANCES?

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning: Denies allegations.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison: Denies allegations.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard: Denies allegations.

Washington Nationals infielder Ryan Zimmerman: Denies allegations.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Mike Neal: Yet to comment.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Julius Peppers: Yet to comment.

Former Miami Dolphins tight end Dustin Keller: Yet to comment.

Chicago Cubs catcher Taylor Teagarden: Yet to comment. 

Former boxer Mike Tyson: Yet to comment.

'There's a bunch of football players who take this, and a bunch of baseball players who take it too,' he claims.

He and fellow pharmacist Chad Robertson claim Green Bay Packers stars Mike Neal, 28, and Julius Peppers, 35, were supplied with Delta-2, a steroid-like hormone.

Sly also claims he has supplied Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, 37, former Miami Dolphins tight end Dustin Keller, 31, Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, 36, and Washington Nationals infielder Ryan Zimmerman, 31. 

He also claims in the recordings to have supplied Mike Tyson with drugs. 

The investigation is also said to show Chicago Cubs catcher Taylor Teagarden admitting taking performance-enhancing drugs in previous seasons.

Harrison's agent told WPXI that the allegations were 'absolutely ridiculous'.

Howard and Zimmerman also denied using the drugs. Keller, Neal, Peppers, Teagarden and Tyson did not respond to Al Jazeera.

Sly appeared in a video posted online, in which he retracts all of the claims in the Al Jazeera investigation.

He said: 'The statements that Al Jazeera plans to air are absolutely false and incorrect.

'I am recanting any such statements and there is no truth to any statement of mine that Al Jazeera plans to air.' 

Robertson did not comment. 

Daily Mail Online has contacted the Guyer Institute and the Indianapolis Colts for comment.

1. Yeah, NO!

2. If he DID, he would not be stupid enough to use his wife's name.

3. No way.

But I thought quarterbacks could be convicted in public opinion (and some would say in a court of law) on just hearsay. No proof needed according to you flan or is that just for quarterbacks you hate?

It's a banned substance by the NFL that's why it is a big deal. If it's proven, then he cheated.
