(Reuters) - Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has denied media allegations that he took human growth hormone (HGH) to combat neck surgery in 2011.
A soon-to-be-released Al-Jazeera report, which was given to the Huffington Post for early review, claims an Indianapolis anti-aging clinic supplied Manning with HGH while he was with the Indianapolis Colts.
The NFL declined to comment on the report but the Broncos issued a statement on behalf of their 39-year-old quarterback who dismissed the claims.
"The allegation that I would do something like that is complete garbage and is totally made up," Manning said in the statement.
