Whether or not claims of Manning’s HGH use are true, the issue of recuperative medicine in sports still looms large.
Denver Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning allegedly used human growth hormone (HGH) in 2011, according to an Al Jazeera report. While coverage of this story is ongoing, Manning has unequivocally denied any HGH use, and the original source for the Al Jazeera report, Charlie Sly, a student intern at the clinic in question, has recanted.
Undoubtedly, the facts of this situation are important to Manning’s legacy and the health of the NFL.
