Deborah Davies offered a clarification on NBC's "Today" program that
Al Jazeera did not make a claim of human growth hormone use by
Peyton Manning.
"We have not said that in the program," said Davies, the reporter
central to the story that set off a threat from Manning to sue the
company.
"The only allegation in the program from Charlie Sly is that growth
hormone was sent repeatedly from the Guyer (Institute) to Ashley
Manning in Florida. We're not making the allegation against Peyton
Manning."
In the interview televised Tuesday, Davies said she did not have
evidence Peyton Manning used HGH. She added that Al Jazeera's intent
was not to make that claim.
Ashley Manning was confirmed as a patient at the clinic, and HGH can
be prescribed in fertility treatment. The Mannings had twins the
year she is alleged to have received HGH.

There could be more trouble brewing in Cleveland for Browns
quarterback Johnny Manziel.
Head coach Mike Pettine said he is aware of a 10-second clip posted
to Instagram on Christmas Eve that shows Manziel rapping while
holding what appears to be a can of alcoholic beverage.
Earlier this season, a video of him partying got him demoted from
starter to third string.
The latest video first appeared on the Yeti Campus Stories app over
the weekend and was transferred to Instagram. BustedCoverage.com
later picked up the video, and its circulation became rampant.
Manziel appears to be gripping a 23.5-ounce can of black cherry Four
Loko, a malt beverage. Manziel, 23, spent more than 10 weeks this
past offseason in an inpatient rehabilitation facility specializing
in alcohol and drug addiction treatment.

A Missouri task force submitted a St. Louis stadium proposal to the
NFL on Tuesday, one day before the league deadline in an attempt to
keep the Rams from moving to Los Angeles.
The state wants to keep the franchise from moving or, if Rams owner
Stan Kroenke does end up taking the franchise to Los Angeles, to
attract a new team with a proposed billion-dollar stadium along the
Mississippi River.
The St. Louis funding proposal includes $150 million from the city,
$300 million from the NFL, $250 million from Kroenke and $160
million in fan seat licenses. State tax credits or bonds would make
up the remainder of the money needed to build the stadium.
The Rams, Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers are bidding to
relocate to the LA area. League owners are to meet Jan. 12-13 to
consider the contenders.
