Ryan Howard, Ryan Zimmerman and Taylor Teagarden are among the athletes named
as allegedly having received banned PEDs in an undercover news documentary
from Al Jazeera television airing later today at 8pm central time. Travis
Waldron and Ryan Grim of the Huffington Post have detailed some of the
documentary’s major news points after watching an advance copy.
Al Jazeera conducted a “monthslong” investigative report on PEDs in global
sports, sending British hurdler Liam Collins undercover. Though we have not
yet seen the documentary breaking this news, the Huffington Post report
suggests the PED claims come from Collins’ undercover conversations with a
pharmacist named Charlie Sly, who worked at an Indiana-based anti-aging
clinic called the Guyer Institute in 2011. Waldron and Grim report that Sly
told Collins that he sold Howard and Zimmerman a hormone supplement known as
Delta-2, which is both specifically designated to evade drug tests and
included on Major League Baseball’s list of banned substances. Teagarden,
meanwhile, is reportedly shown in an undercover video discussing how he took
PEDs in the previous season.
Howard and Zimmerman are said to have denied using the drug when asked to
comment by Al-Jazeera, and several NFL players named in the report (including
such notables as Peyton Manning, James Harrison and Mike Neal) also denied
using PEDs. Sly himself told Al-Jazeera that his prior statements (or, at
least, the characterization of them) were “absolutely false and incorrect.”
Sly added that the recordings were made “without [his] knowledge or
consent.”
None of the three baseball players have ever been suspended for PED use or
failed any known drug tests. It is yet unknown how MLB or the NFL may
respond to this documentary, if at all, though if the allegations are proven,
Howard, Zimmerman and Teagarden would presumably be subject to the 80-game
suspension given to the first-time offenders of MLB’s drug policy.
