Albert Pujols vs. Jack Clark
There's a big controversy brewing right now in St. Louis. Former Cardinal Jack Clark and his radio co-host Kevin Slaten are goners after making statements on the air saying that Albert Pujols was juicing when he was on the Cardinals. Pujols threatened to sue.
The St. Louis Dispatch has the details.
Obviously, you can't just say something like that without evidence. In this case Clark was directly quoting Pujol's former trainer. Either Clark made that up, or the trainer made that up, or it's the truth. Those are the only three options. Albert's very strong response (read the full denial in the article) sounds very convincing, but I think we should follow the story to see if he actually goes through with the threat to sue.
If he's innocent, the discovery process shouldn't scare him. If he's guilty, it could and should scare him quite a bit.
