the top of the billboard charts for the fifth week in a row. it is the first to sell more than 1 billion copies in three weeks. and waterford crystal panels put on the times square new year s eve ball over the weekend. 2,688 sparkles crystals in all. al jazeera under fire for a new documentary where a british athlete goes undercover to expose how easy if it is for professional athletes to score hgh. future hall of famer maybe the best ever peyton manning who pushed back against the allegations that he took hgh in an interview on espn sunday. i can t speak for any other athlete. i know what i ve done. i know how hard i worked in my 18 years of playing in the nfl. there are no shortcuts. i ve done it the long and hard way and to insinuate anything otherwise is defamation and
impropriety. someone other than the elected county official who works very closely with law enforcement officers of this community day in and day out should have probably made that decision and it possibly could have made the decision, whether it s the same or different, more acceptable to the public. walter madison, please pass along our thoughts and prayers to the family today. god bless you, thank you. let s turn here, legendary nfl quarterback peyton manning denying allegations that he used hgh during recovery of a surgery. a report said he had shipments of hgh shipped to his wife. a former intern of the clinic was secretly filmed making the allegations. he has since recanted those statements. as for manning himself, he says
if he does, abby, there is a lot of discovery would take place. there is depositions that would take place. there are subpoenas issued for all medical records and all purchase orders allegedly for the hgh and what that could possibly do is fuel a criminal investigation against him. so although peyton might have a good civil case, he has to be careful about what his goal is hire. he has to immunize himself from criminal liability. the way to do that is not file a civil lawsuit at this time. abby: anna, brian brings up a good point. this could open up a whole can of worms for peyton manning. he is saying that he wants to sue. if he does go forward with a lawsuit that could open up a whole another investigation into a place i doesn t want to be, also including family members his wife. that is absolutely right, abby. there is difference between filing a lawsuit and winning a defamation lawsuit when you re a public figure.
the nfl. there are no shortcuts in the nfl. i ve done it the long way, i ve done it the hard way and to insinuate anything otherwise is a complete and total joke, it s defamation and ticks me off. reporter: the documentary shows hidden camera interviews with pharmacist charlie sly who interned briefly at the gaier institute in indianapolis. sly claims manning received now banned drugs through his wife, ashley. and all the time we d be sending ashley manning drugs like growth hormone all the time, everywhere, florida, never under peyton s name. hgh is banned in the nfl but random testing didn t begin until 2014. manning received treatment at the clinic after being injured in 2010 while playing for the indianapolis colts. makes me sick that it brings ashley into it, her medical history, her medical privacy being violated. go, brock go! bashlash against the claims has been swift. manning s current team the
neck surgeries and it looks like he essentially had a broken neck and everyone thought he wouldn t be able to come back. this is one of the therapies he went through, to go here and sit in a hyperbol ick chamber. he says nothing illegal, nothing to do with hgh. evidently, this guy charlie sly in a one-hour documentary i was just watching on al jazeera, he said peyton manning gets caught up and his name is brought up because charlie sly is interviewed as someone who provides a lot of this cutting edge hgh to elite athletes. he said he sent packages in his wife s name to peyton manning. even though this guy was just an intern, this happened laernlgedly in 2011. is there enough to launch some kind of april investigation? no. it s just one gay s word. and he walked back. he has walked back. however, the al gentleman ra has come back and said, look at the 54 seconds that sly put up
