This is the PED/HGH documentary from Al Jazeera.
I learned some more about the drugs from watching it and listening to the experts/doctors interviewed.
I'm not sure any of the athletes named would actually have a defamation case against Al Jazeera. The narrator is careful to say, "Mr or Mrs X claims" rather than presenting the allegations against specific MLB players, Green Bay Packers' players, and Peyton Manning as facts confirmed to be true by Al Jazeera.
The recordings of Charlie Sly talking about NFL use starts at 34.5 in the video. Sly's claims about Peyton Manning start at 40.0.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out that any athlete, regardless of sport or personal character, was doping and working around the testing protocols at this point. But, there's no evidence linking Manning to HGH use in the film, aside from the (now recanted) statements of Charlie Sly.
It's kinda interesting reading the comments attached to news/sports articles. "Innocent til proven guilty", "if Tom Brady was accused of it, he'd be executed by effin' Goodell", "if Tom Brady was accused of it, everyone would bury their heads in the sand", "Al Jazeera, pffft", "so what, it should be legal anyway", "Roger Clemmens anyone?"....and the like.
