Detroit Tigers Links: Al-Jazeera PED report unravels before it even hits the airwaves

Reports surfaced this weekend of an Al-Jazeera report chronicling accusations of performance-enhancing drug use by Ryan Zimmerman and Ryan Howard. The biggest name in the report, was not a baseball player for once, belonging instead to Denver Broncos' quarterback Peyton Manning. All three athletes quickly issued denials, Manning doing so even before the report aired on Sunday.

The report itself quickly came under direct fire from its purported source, Charles Sly. Sly, a former pharmacy intern, quickly recanted his accusations, though he didn't deny that he made them to Al-Jazeera's undercover reporter, British hurdler, Liam Collins.
