NFL still doing a full review of Peyton Manning HGH claims

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-still-doing-a-full-review-of-peyton-manning-hgh-claims-000746663.html

There hasn't been much new information on the Al Jazeera story that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's wife had HGH sent to her, but the NFL is still investigating the claims.

According to an Associated Press story published Tuesday, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the review has been going on for weeks and "involves reviews of records, interviews and coordination with other agencies." The NFL has not, however, asked the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to help investigate, ESPN.com reported. Major League Baseball has asked for help from the USADA in investigating its players named in the Al Jazeera report. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Twitter that the NFL has been working with USADA, but ESPN.com reporter T.J. Quinn shot back that his report was right because the NFL has only been communicating with USADA.

Al Jazeera released a report in late December, mostly reported with use of a hidden camera, in which an intern from an Indianapolis anti-aging clinic claimed HGH was sent to Manning's wife in 2011. The report inferred that it was intended for Peyton Manning, who missed the 2011 NFL season with a neck injury. There was no direct evidence linking Peyton Manning to the HGH, and the intern in the report, Charlie Sly, recanted his story afterward. Manning called the Al Jazeera report "garbage."

The NFL had to investigate the claims. There were other NFL players implicated in the report, including Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison and multiple members of the Green Bay Packers, although the allegations against them were mostly ignored because the allegations against five-time NFL MVP Manning overshadowed everything else in the report.

Seriously, is there a medical reason for it...because it was shipped to her when she was pregnant with twins.

What wife doesn't choose her husband's sports physician for her pregnancy care?
Peyton probably had a 2 for 1 coupon.

Although one can speculate all they want about him using human growth hormone ,I heard nothing about Anavar and Winstrol. The fact is that there is no proof ,Why don't you add Tren and Anadrol to that that Peyton Cycle as well.Having followed him for close to two decades I think we and the media let this lie.This guy is one of if not the best quarterbacks ever to play the game.In Indianapolis Indiana HGH is widely used by women for anti aging issues.Maybe his wife was taking it,Maybe it was never delivered to his home at all.I say lets let this KING OF Football go out with all the respect he deserves.I too am looking forward to the game but I'm betting he plays his best game and they smoke the Panthers.The steaks will be grilling and the Cigars burning on this day.Go Broncos!!!!!

I don't believe they're "actively" looking at anything, I think they're just sitting on the investigation to avoid having to report any kind of findings at this time.
