    Most of you have heard the story. Al Jazeera sent a washed up British track guy to meet with a suspected PED supplier named Charlie Sly. Wearing a wire, the Brit told Sly he wanted to make a comeback and needed some juice. Sly proceeded to brag about all the high profile pro athletes he supplied, including some guy named Peyton Manning.

    When word of the story began to circulate pre-publication, team Manning went into crisis mode and hired Big Law heavyweight firm Gibson Dunn and former Bush press agent Ari Fleischer. Sly apparently could not be found, so two intimidating "private eyes" were sent to Sly's parents house to ask some friendly questions. The parents were so alarmed at first they summoned police, but apparently got with the program and cooperated.

    Sly surfaced and made a video disavowing anything and everything he might or might not have said, including that he had ever supplied anyone with anything illegal. Not him, no sirree.

    Several of the athletes have sued Al Jareeza.

    Manning and his mouthpieces have carpet-bombed social media with denials. What they can't deny however is the inconvenient fact that Sly was totally correct in saying that HGH had been sent on multiple occasions to Manning's wife from a clinic in Indianapolis where Sly was formerly an intern. The Mannings have refused to explain why, saying to do so would invade his wife's medical privacy. Oh, glad we cleared that up. Since it is legally used only for a handful of rare conditions, none of which she seems to have, an incredible amount of eye-averting is going on through the sports media.

    NFL commissioner Roger Godell, fresh from making a fool of himself with the deflategate controversy, is leading the eye-averting brigade. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...b-usada-investigation-over-al-jazeera-report/

    Seems the NFL will not be joining an investigation mounted by MLB and doping authorities. Nope, Godell and crew will conduct their own investigation. Maybe they could hire Ted Wells. He certainly proved that he would say anything.
