so can others who can appreciate what we've done here. >> and what they've done is create a work of art by making the most of what they had. al jazeera, philippines. >> for the top stories go to www.aljazeera.com. >> the sports stars and possible use of performance-enhancing drugs, allegations they deny. we'll bring you part of the interview that manning gave. retaking ramadi. officials saying they have retaken the city from isil, but the pentagon is not so sure.

>> there are new allegations. according to the media reports, both say they'll investigate a document that is called the dark side, secrets of the sports dopers. al jazeera's investigative unit infiltrated the world of sports doping with the help of a british athlete. they reported hours of conversation with doctors and pharmacies who made claims, claims that players deny. >> on hidden camera footage, a pharmacist in texas charlie sly

advise an athlete on the use of drugs banned for use in professional sports. >> i can give you something to be used here now. it's like a steroid. it will be help for you for strengthening. there are a bunch of football players who take this, and a bunch of baseball players who take it, too. >> collins is not a drugs cheat, he's working under cover to expose what athletes call the dark side. the alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs substances. he speaks one player was filmed in sly's argument discussing the use of the delta two drug. >> i used it last year. i was scared to be hospital with you. i took it for like two weeks, and i was taking peptides too. >> sly said when he worked an

indianapolis, a banned substance was shipped to the wife of football star payton manning. >> all this time we'll be sending ashley manning drugs, growth hormone all the time. it would never be under peyton's name. it would always be under her name. >> peyton manning has now responded to the allegations of the program. >> it's completely fabricated complete trash, garbage. there are more adjectives i would like to be able to use, but it makes me sick. >> we spoke to the institute who gave us the start date charlie sly worked in their pharmacy i in 2011. in the last 24 hours sly has issued his own video denial. we also infiltrated a network in canada. we filmed a pharmacist and doctor who supplies athletes with an array of banned drugs and offered to destroy medical records to cover it up.

>> some would use ten injection as day in some cases. >> wow. >> now we'll get into the bad [bleep] >> if you want to go black ops, so to speak, i can document everything in my own chart. if anybody ever comes sniffing for it, there's the decoy. >> athletes did not respond to request to comment. other athletes named in the program who did respond deny the allegations. al jazeera is undercover investigation raises new questions about the possible use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport. >> as you just saw in debra's report, payton manning is the highest-paid athlete named in the allegation. in 2011 he suffered a neck injury when he played as quarterback for the indianapolis colts. now he's one victory shy of setting the number of record wins by a quarterback.

manning has mounted an aggressive campaign against the report. here is more of his report on sunday in espn. >> it makes me sick that it brings ashley into it, her medical history, her medical privacy being violated, that makes me sick. i don't understand that. i have to leave my workouts to talk about this. it's not right. i don't understand it. >> have you ever used hgh or any performance-enhancing drugs. >> absolutely not. absolutely not. what hurts me the most about this, whoever this guy is, this slap stick trying t to insinuate that i--you know, i had a bad neck, and i busted my butt to get healthy. i put in a lot of hard work.

i saw a lot of doctors. i went to a clinic where they had a hyperbaric chamber that our coach and trainers thought it might be good for me. they went with me. they thought it might help. it didn't hurt. time ended up being the best medicine along with hard work. it really--it stings me whoever this guy is who is insinuating that i cut corners or broke rules to get healthy. that's a joke. that's a joke. >> earlier on your world this morning we asked about the main witness who is now recanting what he has said. >> we approach the liam to work with us. we guided him through every single step of the investigation. >> if you say someone has recanted that implies that for one reason or another they've changed their mind. that's not what happened here. we filmed charlie sly for six

days, hour upon hour of footage. every time we met him we reviewed the footage, we primed liam with new questions to get more details of what charlie sly was saying. we contacted him three weeks before the program went out by e-mail, letter, by phone to ask him if he wanted to comment. he said nothing. suddenly 48 hours before the program is due to air he comes out with a statement saying i've recanted. one of the whole reason for the secret filming is that people with things to hide will speak openly if a way they won't if they think they're going to get found out. he just has to make a call. is he being truthful in the hours upon hours of filming? is he being truthful when he is on the edge of beak exposed. you decide. >> peyton manning, as you know,

has hired former white house spokesman ari fleisher. fleisher has confirmed that manning's wife ashley was fact also a patient at the anti-aging center. i wonder if you ex-poured the possibility that she may have been taking growth hormone which some doctors will describe off label for anti-aging. >> of course we explored it. this is eight months of rigorous journalism. we asked the question, and it has not been answered. when you say the growth hormone is used, if it is used in that way it is illegal. let me make it really clear, growth hormone is one of the very few drugs that you cannot use off label. there is federal law saying that growth hormone can only be described for three incredibly serious conditions, for those who have had cancer or something similar. >> pardon me, but the story of

manning's wife ashley taking off-labeled use of growth hormone is a different implication than peyton manning himself took growth hormone. >> then they should ask the questions we've asked. those are precisely the questions, the allegations from charlie sly was very clear that it was shipped by the clinic to ashley manning in florida. and until they answer the question who is it shipped to, who is it taking, and for what condition, this story is going to keep rolling without any clear answers. >> debra, the institute said that charles sly was an internal there in 2013 for three months but he wasn't there in 2011. do you have documentation to the contrary? >> i do. i range the clinic on the first of december. i said i was doing a verification check for charles sly. they put me through to someone

who said oh, yes. she immediately recognized his name. she went and got the records, she came back and gave a precise start date for him in 2011. we have a full transcript of that conversation. i don't know if he was there i in 2013. i do know that they told us that he was there in 2011. >> the al jazeera investigation provided nfl commentators and analysts with plenty to talk about on sunday. we have that story. >> al jazeera's investigation into questions of sports dope something sparking swift reaction from nfl circles. >> i've never seen payton any angle grayer. >> these former athletes now espn analysts are standing by denver bronco's quarterback peyton manning. >> he said he didn't do it. if he said he didn't didn't do it, it didn't happen, he didn't do it. >> you hate that it gets legitimatized. >> the broncos say in a statement knowing peyton manning

and everything he stands for, the denver broncos support him 100%. these are false claims made to al jazeera and we don't believe the report. manning's former team indianapolis colts say that he played the game for 14 years the right way. he never took any shortcuts and it would be absurd to suggest that he would take prohibitive performance-enhancing drugs. ari fleisher told the denver post that there was no truth to it. tony dungy is also defending the quarterback. >> i just don't believe it. it is not consistent with the peyton manning that i know. he just has too much respect for his legacy, for the game, for what it means. i think he would do everything in his power to get well, but i do not believe that he would go outside the rules. >> on twitter, former colts linebacker gary bracket writes: i can go on record saying i've

never seen a player work as hard as peyton manning, and he's not cheating the game. the reports from the "washington post" and bleacher report cite sources close to the nfl say they will deny claims made in the documentary. >> "the dark side" today at 3:00 p.m. eastern time, noon pacific. when we come back, retaking of ramadi, the efforts to are capture the city from the isil fighters. plus evacuating syria, a rare u.n.-backed deal offer opposition fighters and their families to leave parts of the country.

in iraq this morning military officials sayin saying that the army is now in full control of the center of the bail ground city of ramadi. they have clear the government center, al jazeera's jamie mcintyre live in the pentagon. how significant is retaking of ramadi. >> well, very significant. they're congratulating the iraqi security force on what is an apparent victory with the help of the united states with a lot of u.s. equipment and u.s. training. you may carl back when are a plaid di fell in may ash carter blamed part of it on the lack of will from. well, today when i spoke to u.s. military spokesman corner steve warren in baghdad, he credited that will to fight and the ability to fight for today's

to this victory, and corner warren said that it could an model for future operations as well. >> when you talk about the airstrikes, what else? how involved was the u.s. in this operation? >> well, you know, they were very involved. not just in providing the air cover, which as crucial. by the way, it was the fear of the lack of air cover that led some of the iraqi troops to flee back in may. they thought they were not going to be getting the air port they thought they needed. but the u.s. provided all kinds of new commitment and tactics armored bull dozers to thwart the truck bombs, some of the binges had been blown, this was very much an u.s.-enabled operation. >> jamie mcintyre for us at the pentagon. thank you very much. evaluations have been going on in syria, more than 400 wounded fighters and civilians created from three wa war-torn syrian

towns. it calls for the transfer of shia and sunni fight freers one part of syria to another. we have more on the investigations from turkey. >> the deal between the syrian government and the rebel faction groups is quite significant. it is going to waive the way for 100 or so syrian rebel groups to be evacuated. they're going to process into lebanon, and then they would be flown into lebanon. they'll be taken to refugee camps on the board, or they're going to go into areas under the control of the rebels. we'll see how militias will be

crossing into turkey, and then they'll be flown in to beirut and then damascus. it's very important development because it comes against the backdrop of the push to find a political way out of the crisis in syria. we're expecting the syrian opposition and government to be in geneva next month, and try to find a solution to the issues. >> when we come back, parents worried about their parents' safety here in the u.s. we'll tell you how muslim teams are dealing with the rising backlash against muslims across the country. and "star wars" till pulling in the big bucks at the box office that was a record smash of the box office hit.
