Peyton Manning was accused of having human growth hormone delivered to his home in his wife Ashley Manning’s name this week. Manning has forcefully denied the allegations, and may sue Al Jazeera for their documentary which implicated him, and MLB stars Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman.
Manning also decried that medical issues his wife has had were made public. But who is Ashley Manning? Here are five things to know about Peyton’s wife.

3. Ashley Was A Client At The Guyer Clinic

One of the responses he received adds a wrinkle to the tale.
@RapSheet HGH commonly prescribed to women undergoing IVF fertility treatments. Mannings had twins (common in IVF) same yr. Use cld b legit

Expect these details to see the light if Peyton proceeds with a lawsuit.
2. It’s Possible That The Mannings’ Used IVF Treatments To Have Their Twins
Michelle Vaeth, the woman who responded to Rappoport’s tweet, has a theory about why Ashley could have been legitimately taking HGH.
@RapSheet infertility is often tough 4 ppl to talk about publicly. If my theory right, mannings caught btwn rock/hard place in hw 2 respond.

Several Twitter users attempted to debunk her theory that HGH is commonly prescribed to women undergoing IVF treatments.
@mjvaeth @RapSheet That is an off-label use which is illegal. Also going to anti-aging clinic for infertility? Not legit at all.

@mjvaeth @AgainstheNumber @RapSheet this isn't true. Not a commonly used med in IVF.
