Last edited Tue Dec 29, 2015, 05:30 PM - Edit history (1)
The video show Deborah Davies, an investigative reporter from Al Jazeera, who was also part of the documentary The Dark Side and serves as the narrator of the documentary, calling the Guyer Clinic to confirm the dates of employment of Charles Sly, the man who claimed the clinic shipped Human Growth Hormone (HGH) to Peyton Manning under his wife's name. After the allegations about Peyton Manning came out the Guyer Clinic claimed Charles Sly was not employed at the clinic in 2011. Davies also claims that although Peyton Manning has denied using HGH; no one has denied that Ashley Manning received HGH.

The above link is to a story about the documentary The Dark Side. The link also has the documentary and a HuffPost Live interview with Deborah Davies in which she discusses the documentary.

The video shows Deborah Davies talking to a person at the Guyer Clinic. Davies asks the person if Charles Sly had ever worked at the clinic. When the person says yes, Davies asks if the person could give the dates when Sly was at the clinic. The person briefly left to check the dates and then returned and stated that he had worked at the clinic in 2011.

(56,177 posts)Put more mis-information out there so that people will shake their heads and say, who should we believe? Ari did it to cover war crimes, so hiding HGH use should be a piece of cake...notice how there's not much coverage of this story...they're working to suppress also...

(65,159 posts)Suppressing the story? They included the Anderson interview with Manning in the middle of the countdown shows on both ESPN and NFL Network. Both around an hour before game time.
Two major networks, one of them international in scope, showing the complete interview an hour before kick-off on a Sunday morning is suppressing?

(56,177 posts)All they have is a story about whether Payless has a case if he sues; try to find something on the NY Times...compare this to Ray Rice, Framegate, any other controversy where the coverage was non-stop...it's not even close...Payless will win the PR battle, but he will lose the war because eventually it will seep in that he did it...like Clarenece Thomas...full out assault on Anita Hill, it worked and we're stuck with him, but a few months later and even today, the vast majority of people know he did it according to any poll.

(7,429 posts)One of the big stories today was about HGH on the Today Show this morning.
Huffington Post wrote stories about it.
Washington Post is writing stories today.
GMA did a story on Peyton this morning
It's a big story because now people are caught in a few lies (namely the Guyer place).
I think this story will get worse for Peyton before it gets better.
The thing that gets me is that Peyton was never really implicated in HGH in the video, but boy was Clay Matthews and Ryan Howard. Not much of a stink is going on right now about them - just Peyton!!

(56,177 posts)Love to know who those others were...I hope someone investigates this firm...I fear they won't because it will taint Payless.

(56,177 posts)Which is when he was recovering from surgery and people were wondering if he'd ever play again. Their silence on not explaining why she needed it pretty much tells me he's guilty, and probably the focus is on him because people are reading between the lines...and rightly so.

(65,159 posts)This is strictly a sports story. I think you're looking in the wrong places. If ESPN runs the entire interview with Josina Anderson during the pregame show late on a Sunday morning, when millions of football fans are watching, it's not a cover up.

(56,177 posts)During Framegate...not seeing that level of coverage...and I included NBC and The Times because they went all out about Framegate as did CNN...seeing nothing there...Ari has been able to get a lot of outlets to not cover this.
ProfessorGAC
(65,159 posts)You used NBC, he said it was on the Today show. Same network. Look, i got tired of hearing about the stupid footballs with 0.2psig too little air, too.
Instead of "inflategate" they should have called it "airgate", then i could have changed it to "errorgate".
But, i think you're around the bend on this one.
mythology
(9,527 posts)She's claiming that her reporting was only that Ashley Manning was getting HGH and not implying that it was for Peyton Manning. Because that's plausible to anybody.

If he cheated, he should be suspended and his post 2011 records expunged. But so far there isn't enough evidence with the source recanting and the reporter back pedaling.
That said all American sports leagues have pathetically low punishments for cheating. Four games for doping is useless. Bans should be a minimum of two years, and that should include things like Atlanta piping in noise and Brady having footballs tampered with.
