Al Jazeera Reporter: ‘Absolutely’ We Stick By Manning/HDH Report

MOHYELDIN: “I’m now joined by Al Jazeera investigative reporter Deborah Davis in her first interview with a U.S. network since this story broke. Deborah, good to have you with us. As we just heard from that report by Craig Melvin, Charlie Sly, the source you used in your reporting, went on YouTube to recant everything he said in your undercover investigation. Do you still stick by your reporting?”

DAVIES: “Oh, absolutely. I mean what we did was we spent six days recording Charlie Sly hour upon hour. There’s more than 20 hours of recordings. On some days there were two or three meetings between him and our undercover athlete, Liam Collins. Look at his demeanor in those conversations. He’s giving fact upon fact upon fact. Every time we had a conversation, we went back, we analyzed it, we primed Liam with more questions to ask in the next conversation. So, the allegation that he makes — let’s be clear what the allegation is and what it’s not. What Charlie Sly says is that the Guyer Institute shipped human growth hormone to Ashley Manning in Florida. I have not heard any one deny that. If it was not true would Peyton Manning have come out and said human growth hormone has never been shipped to my wife in Florida? Dale Guyer has not said that. Ask him point-blank. Ask Dr. Guyer has human growth hormone ever been shipped from your clinic to Ashley Manning, has it ever been shipped to anyone else. Because it is a very, very severely limited drug in terms of its legal uses. There are only three very, very serious medical conditions which doctors can legally prescribe it. If they had those conditions they would not — should not been treated at the anti-aging clinic. So, ask the questions, point-blank. Has HGH been shipped to Ashley Manning in Florida? Has the Guyer Institute shipped HGH to anyone else? That’s the allegation that Charlie Sly’s making and it is not being denied.”
