Peyton Manning was left fuming after wife Ashley was dragged into HGH allegations - "It makes me sick"
Former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was once accussed of HGH use, that almost led to consequences in the NFL.
In 2011, Al Jazeera accussed Manning and his wife of getting HGH delivered to their house. Then the NFL conducted an investigation and the NFL found no violation that occurred.
Following the accusations, Manning spoke to ESPN about the incident and said that it made him sick that his wife was put into the situation.
Manning said:
"It makes me sick that it brings Ashley into it. Her medical history, her medical privacy being violated, that makes me sick.
"Yes, I have been a patient under Dr. Guyer. I have had nutrient therapy, oxygen therapy and other treatments that are holistic in nature but never HGH. My wife has never provided any medication for me to take. Ashley and I never attended the clinic together after hours.
"There were times when I went in the morning and there were times when I went after practice so this thing about 'after hours' is so misleading because it may have been 5:15 p.m. because their office closed at 5."

Doctor released a statement following Peyton Manning's accusation of HGH use
Following Peyton Manning being accused of HGH use, his doctor, Dr. Guyer, debunked the rumors while slamming Al Jazeera for making the news up.
Guyer said:
"I have no reason to believe these allegations are based in fact or have any truth. In fact, I can say with absolute certainty they are not. I find it extremely disturbing that the source of Al Jazeera's story, a former unpaid intern named Charles Sly, would violate the privacy of Mrs. Manning's medical records."
Guyer then went on to credit Peyton Manning for being one of the most honorbale individuals he's ever met.
"Mr. Manning is one of the most honorable and upstanding individulas I have had the pleasure of knowing."
