The NFL has cleared Steelers linebacker James Harrison of any wrongdoing as a result of its investigation and interview of him following a report on the now-defunct Al-Jazeera America television network.
“The NFL found no credible evidence that Pittsburgh’s James Harrison and Green Bay’s Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers were provided with or used substances prohibited under the NFL-NFLPA Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances following a comprehensive investigation into allegations made in a documentary by Al-Jazeera America.”
All three were interviewed last week at their respective team facilities. The NFL began its investigation in January after the Al-Jazeera report quoted a pharmacist, Charlie Sly, as telling an undercover reporter that he had supplied the players with performance enhancing drugs that the NFL has banned.
