Al Jazeera, HGH and the NFL: Where Things Stand

The NFL says its investigation is “ongoing and comprehensive,” but with no tangible evidence, no power to compel cooperation and an accuser who’s recanted every allegation, it’s difficult to see anything coming of a probe unless higher authorities get involved

A month after Al Jazeera aired its sports doping documentary “The Dark Side,” its blizzard of allegations have yet to be cleared up. Among those named in the documentary, in which former British sprinter Liam Collins went undercover in an attempt to expose performance enhancing drug use by athletes, were Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Packers defensive stalwarts Clay Matthews, Mike Neal and Julius Peppers, former tight end Dustin Keller and, most notably, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
