(Reuters) - The National Football League (NFL) said on Tuesday their review of allegations that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had HGH sent to his house will not be completed before he competes in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.
League spokesman Brian McCarthy called the review "ongoing and comprehensive" and said it involves obtaining and reviewing numerous records, conducting multiple interviews and working with other entities.
"We do not comment on the specifics of these matters until the review is completed," McCarthy said in an email.
The allegations surfaced last month in an Al-Jazeera report that said Manning's wife received deliveries of HGH, which is banned by the NFL, at their home while he was recovering from neck surgery during his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts.
