Peyton Manning linked to HGH

[Ruff]

In a special investigative report, Peyton has been linked to HGH use. Others listed are Peppers and James Harrison. This could get very interesting.

Source just recanted.

Its becoming more and more apparent that the author of this is guilty of not doing much in the way of research or verifying the source.  Got the information from an "intern" who immediately recanted.  And apparently the drug in question wouldn't help his injury very much.

"Why would he use HGH for that?"

Mendias' opinion matters. He has been studying growth hormone for a decade at the University of Michigan, where he's an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery. He is also leading a project funded by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to learn how HGH can help recovery from ACL tears.

Manning's injury was far from an ACL injury; it was a herniated disc affecting the nerve in his neck. And that made Mendias curious when he saw the report.

"Even if he did use it," Mendias says, "it wouldn't make sense for the injury he had. For having a bulging disc, I don't think he'd benefit."

When I saw the source of the report, I had my doubts about the accuracy of the report, and it appears those doubts were correct.

It just made no sense on the surface. He's a HOF player, he has more money than I could ever spend, and has income guaranteed for years with the dozens of Papa John's he owns. People do stupid things all the time but I don't think he would risk tarnishing his image
