None of those doctors are going to stake their reputation like that. It would also be grounds for a huge lawsuit if they cleared him on false grounds. These guys are some of the best in the business AND one of the doctors is the team neurosurgeon for the Colts.

Just like a Dr. wouldn't stake their reputation writing prescriptions for illegal performance enhancing HGH steroids for professional baseball players? Deception and illegal actions in medicine are just as prevalent as in all other industries. I believe it would be naive to think otherwise.

lol foreign doctors? That particular doctor was in Canada, and most went to him because he would prescribe HGH. This wasn't some big time doc like Dr. Andrews with the Redskins. Notice he wasn't giving out HGH to players.


Also, your point is invalid the moment the Colts neurosurgeon cleared him as well. Even if he got some random doctor to clear him, the team doctor wouldn't have. In fact, it would have been in the Colts best interest if he hadn't cleared.

Then why did Irsay refute the Colt's own Dr. assessment?

Irsay is saying he hasn't passed a team physical, therefore he hasn't been cleared to play for the Colts.

PM's Dr. is saying his neck is sound, which is true, the arm is another story.

Both sides are just politicking at this point.

Read between the lines. Manning was cleared by two doctors to take the team physical, without any bathroom breaks that is...
