Manning does admit to have been treated at the Guyer Clinic for nutrient therapy, oxygen therapt and "holistic treatments."
Charlie Sly, the pharmacist who worked for the Guyer Clinic, said he supplied hgh to Peyton's wife Ashley.
There also has been no denial from Manning's agent that hgh was supplied to Ashley Manning. Instead, the term "medical privacy" was used.
Ari Fleischer has been retained to speak in behalf of Manning. He's calling Liam Collins, the British hurdler who went undercover, as a "well-known con man."
Charlie Sly has since recanted his story, claiming that he went through a vulnerable period following the death of his fiance. He also said he said those things to test out the legitimacy of Liam Collins.
This thing is not going to go away quietly. Hoping Manning is innocent.
"Hoping Manning is innocent"? Seriously? That seems like a really naive approach given the state of the modern sporting world. I'm more like, if all Manning was trying to do was get some drugs that would extend his playing career and help him recover from a serious neck injury, that hardly casts him as a villain. Given the nature of the NFL, that's almost his duty. Not saying that he hasn't been using all along, but come on - do you really think this type of thing is anything other than business as usual in the NFL?
I'm more interested in whether there were any track athletes named. Sadly, I'm thinking maybe not, because the guy (Sly) wouldn't have mentioned them because he didn't even know who the heck they were.
Anyway, I don't look at this as a story of, you know, wow! Look what a bad guy Peyton Manning actually is...and Ryan Howard, etc. What bad apples! It's more along the lines of contributing to ripping the facade off the modern sporting world, where just about everybody is doing this type of thing.
