10 days before the Super Bowl, the NFL is investigating Peyton Manning over HGH claims

The league says the investigation ‘began weeks ago’.

THE NFL SAYS it is conducting a comprehensive review of allegations that Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had human growth hormone delivered to his house.

There’s no timetable to complete the investigation, but it’s not expected before Denver plays Carolina in the Super Bowl on 7 February.

League spokesman Brian McCarthy says the inquiry, which began weeks ago, involves reviews of records, interviews and coordination with other agencies.

Al Jazeera reported last month that an intern at an Indianapolis anti-aging clinic was secretly recorded suggesting that Manning’s wife received deliveries of HGH, which is banned by the league. Manning, then with the Colts, was rehabbing from shoulder surgeries.

The intern, Charles Sly, has since recanted his story.

Manning angrily denied using performance-enhancing substances and called the report “complete garbage.”

    Too right, unlike some players, he’s proud to play for his country & doesnt care about the money, hopefully he will stay on after the euros, dont see any obvious successor to him

    Shay Given, what can I say. Anyone with the same hair cut as Count von Count can NOT be trusted!

    We can count on him being a top performer in the Euro’s however.
