If you read the original article, the investigation is part of a documentary. In the documentary a British Olympic athlete goes undercover to expose a doping ring.


Supposedly from an ESPN investigation from crap forgot his name but one of the most respected investigative reporter they got. The source was an unpaid Intern at the lab. He said he made up that list of names to give to the British guy who was doing a story on growth homones in European Soccer and wanted to widen it.

Supposedly this Intern who has since stated that it was all false thought it was a hoax so he made up a list of names that might be believable to the Writer and see if he could trust him..not sure of the trust issues.

Al Jaheer got a hold of it whether it was sold to them or not??? and printed it. They have stated that it is not legit.

Manning is considering a law suit.

That's what I heard on the radio this morning Mike n Mike (with only one Mike there) but they had the NFL ESPN guy on the phone and he had all the inside info. Crap still cant remember his name...I see his face but no name popping up in my brain...sorry.

MORTENSON ahhh remembered it lol laugh


A lot of this info is wrong. No offense, eo. Working off memory is pretty hard.

This was an investigative report and no one had knowledge of it besides the reporter and al Jazeera. There was no article that anyone was working on.

Sly did supply the reporter (for lack of a better term) with illegal peds. The reporter told Sly that he was planning on trying to get to the Olympics for the British team. Sly supplied the reporter with PEDs in hopes of getting into the European market, specifically soccer.

This is where Sly drops a bunch of accusations against Mike Neal, Clay Matthews, James Harrison and Dustin Keller. The most damning is against Dustin Keller. Sly says he went to HS with Keller and has been giving him PEDs since then. He brags about Dustin Keller's combine performance being influenced by PEDs. Keller performed amazing at the combine.

Sly said during his internship at the Guyer institute, where Manning did receive treatment at in 2011, that he knew that they were giving him hgh to help recover from his surgery.

Sly has since recanted the entire story after Al Jazeera asked him. He says he made up the entire thing to entice the Reporter into investing into Sly's company.

And that's where we're at.

They kept introducing Sly's stories as 'accusations' and 'allegations'. If this was ran by Fox they certainly would not have gave the players the benefit of the doubt. Not that Fox is anyway near a gold standard for journalism. But yeah. Al Jazeera did a very fair job at reporting this.

I don't want to believe this, but you know, when it comes to the NFL or NBA, I'd believe about anything is possible.

Why you should read:

Quote:
With the help of my New York Times colleagues Ken Belson and Doris Burke, I scrutinized the list of names, and it soon appeared less random than at first blush. Nearly all of the athletes Sly named are clients of Jason Riley, a fitness trainer based in Sarasota, Fla.

Here is where Sly’s story becomes more intriguing.

Sly is a business partner of Riley’s. When Sly applied for a pharmacist’s license in Florida, he used Riley’s home address.


It kinda does a decent job looking into a little bit of the situation.
