Just a week after winning the Superbowl, Peyton Manning should be on top of the world.

Instead, a recent case is being looked at heavily alleging sexual abuse by the Denver star quarterback. 

Prior to the 50th NFL Superbowl, HGH allegations arose connecting Manning. Now, somehow, that is a distant memory with these new charges.

The charges allege that Manning, while a star quarterback at the university of Tennessee, assaulted a female trainer for the program.

The trainer alleges that while looking at Manning's foot, he took down his pants and put his genitals on her face and head.

Manning has explained that he merely mooning a fellow teammate...but the teammate he reported as mooning has refuted those claims.

This claim along with many will be looked into as Tenesee is now being looked at for systemic abuse issues across their campus during the time period of Manning's career there. Many other state athletes for them at the time are being cited.

Manning will have to try and enjoy Disneyworld, and his recent Championship victory with this looming over him.

The HGH claims are not far behind either... and he is currently weighing retirement as well. Although it is a foregone conclusion he will be hanging them up this year. 

Weather he does or or does not, he will be in the news and remain there for sometime one way or another. There is no doubt more and more info will become known or disclosed.

Hopefully his reputation will not be hurt by this, but it seems it already has...and perhaps it should be...we will soon find out.

More and more in today's world the elite of sports are brought down in some way shape or form though. 

Look at the greats in the past 3 decades...all the greats in their respective sports and it seems some type of controversy follows.

Coincidence...?

Jordan- gambling,  All main baseball stars of 90s-HGH, Tiger Woods- adultry, Lance Armstrong- doping!

Now you can add another great to the list with Peyton. Another asterisk on another great sport's figure resume.
