Al-Jazeera reporter defends Peyton Manning HGH report; says alleged shipments raise serious questions

The reporter behind al-Jazeera's investigation into doping in sports that alleged an Indianapolis anti-aging clinic supplied Peyton Manning with human growth hormone (HGH) in 2011, defended her team's report amid a barrage of rebuttals.

Deborah Davies, the reporter and narrator of al-Jazeera's documentary, " The Dark Side," spoke with The Denver Post, saying the report did not allege Manning took the hormone when he was a patient of the Guyer Institute during his recovery from four neck surgeries.

"The allegation in the program is that HGH is being sent out to Ashley Manning (his wife) in Florida," Davies said.
