Peyton Manning said he is "furious" and "disgusted" at an Al Jazeera report that identified the Denver Broncos quarterback as one of several high-profile athletes who were supplied performance-enhancing drugs from an anti-aging clinic.
The Al Jazeera undercover probe, which was posted online early Sunday morning, reported that Manning was given human growth hormone in 2011 while he was recovering from neck surgery. The report cited a man named Charlie Sly, who allegedly spoke to an undercover reporter working for Al Jazeera.
Manning addressed the report during an interview Sunday with ESPN's Lisa Salters, accusing Al Jazeera of "defamation" and adamantly denying that he ever used HGH.
