Report: Peyton Manning won't sue Al Jazeera over HGH report

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will not sue Al Jazeera America over a report that linked him to human growth hormone (HGH), according to Christine Brennan of USA TODAY Sports.

Al Jazeera ran a documentary titled "The Dark Side: Secrets of the Sports Dopers" where Charlie Sly - a former intern at the Guyer Institute - alleged that Manning's wife received HGH on her husband's behalf, while the quarterback recovered from neck surgery in 2011. Manning vehemently denied the accusations on multiple occasions.

Although he retired after helping the Broncos win Super Bowl 50, the NFL reportedly will continue its investigation into the claims of HGH use.

Manning wasn't the only player named in the documentary and NFL spokeman Joe Lockhart said the league will interview the named parties.

"It's our expectation that we will interview the players involved over the next month or so," Lockhart said to Brennan.
