The NFL is investigating allegations connecting Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and human growth hormone, league spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed to Omnisport on Wednesday.
In December, Al Jazeera reported that Manning’s wife, Ashley, received HGH from a clinic in Indianapolis, where the Mannings lived at the time. Peyton Manning vehemently denied using or receiving HGH.

"We said that we would look into the allegations at the time the story came out," McCarthy said in an email to Omnisport. "The review is ongoing and comprehensive. It involves obtaining and reviewing numerous records, conducting multiple interviews and working with other entities. We do not comment on the specifics of these matters until the review is completed."
McCarthy said the probe will not be completed before Super Bowl 50, which could be Manning’s final game.
ESPN reported that the NFL declined to cooperate with Major League Baseball and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in their joint investigation of the Al Jazeera report that also named MLB players, but McCarthy debunked that report saying the entities are working together.
The Associated Press was first to report the investigation.
