New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has denied accusations he knowingly provided fake game-used memorabilia to collectors.

"I've done nothing wrong and I have nothing to hide," Manning said.

The two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback turned over a potentially incriminating email earlier this month in connection with a lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims Manning, the Giants and a team equipment manager knowingly provided memorabilia that was not worn in games.
