Peyton Manning’s Account from 1996 Incident with Trainer Supported by a New Witness

For nearly a month now, we have heard about the scandal surrounding Peyton Manning when he allegedly dropped his pants and placed his genitals on a trainer’s face in 1996. The entire discussion was based on a New York Daily News article written by Shaun King that cited only the accuser’s side of court documents in a defamation suit related to the case seven years later.

Now, after other reporters did digging to pull up Manning’s side of the case, more details have emerged. While Manning’s biggest detractors point to Malcolm Saxon, the key witness in the case, denying Manning’s account, Monday Morning Quarterback writer Robert Klemko has revealed a new witness who was there during the incident in an article about new revelations surrounding the case.
