A six-month-old Al-Jazeera America report alleging the use of performance enhancing drugs by several NFL players has sparked the latest public spat between the NFL and NFLPA.
The NFL wants to interview Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, retired quarterback Peyton Manning, Green Bay Packers linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers and free agent linebacker Mike Neal, who were linked to the report. But the NFL Players Association contends there's no evidence to merit an investigation.
Charlie Sly, who made the accusations to Al-Jazeera, has recanted his statements about the players, including Manning, who was central to the report.
