UNDATED (WTAQ) – As the Green Bay Packers make their push towards the playoffs, an undercover investigative report apparently links several players to a major doping ring involving an Indianapolis-based clinic.
The report from Al-Jazeera is due to air on Sunday night, but the contents of that report and the early fallout have gone viral.
You can watch the report above, along with a response released by the source of the story Charles Sly.
The report, which largely centers on Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning’s alleged use of human growth hormone (HGH), also names several Packers players.
According to the report, a hormone supplement deemed “steroidal in nature” called Delta-2 was supplied in a program designed by a pharmacist based in the Bahamas.
“The report does not link Manning to Delta-2, but Sly and Robertson name multiple football players as customers, including Green Bay Packers linebacker Mike Neal. Neal, Sly says, connected him with multiple teammates, including defensive end Julius Peppers.
Sly also says that he provided Clay Matthews, Green Bay’s Pro Bowl linebacker, with the prescription painkiller Percocet to help him deal with pain before at least one game. He also brags in one undercover video that Matthews texted him in an attempt to obtain Toradol, a powerful painkiller that is banned in many countries but not in the United States.”
Multiple sources have denied this report, including Manning, while others did not respond to requests for comment on this report.
