This would be a welcome change in the current climate regarding MLB and PED's. I agree entirely with Pujols here and would extend it to say that the media at-large has been "irresponsible and reckless" throughout this era.

This is the bed that MLB has made for itself led by the media's prior witch hunt. The media was allowed to march unfettered and throw firebombs when the target was one particular unpopular guy. Now that the behavior continues and is directed at somewhat more popular guys, it is a Tar-Baby that they cannot separate themselves from so easily.

Good luck fellas, you made your bed, now lie in it.

Hopefully, Pujols follows through and is joined by Justin Verlander. And hopefully they win.

Jack Clark was once my favorite player when he was with the Giants. But in this case, The Ripper struck out.

Albert Pujols denies PED accusations, plans to sue former major leaguer Jack Clark - Yahoo! Sports:

Accused of using performance-enhancing drugs by former major leaguer Jack Clark, Albert Pujols said Friday he would sue Clark and his St. Louis-based radio station, WGNU, calling Clark’s remarks “irresponsible and reckless.”

“I’ve said time and time again that I would never take, or even consider taking, anything illegal,” Pujols said in a statement released by his agent.

He added, “If I have to be the athlete to carry the torch and pave the way for other innocent athletes to see that you can do something about it, I am proud to be that person.”

In his first week on the job as an afternoon drive-time host and in the wake of the Biogenesis suspensions, Clark told his audience Pujols’ former trainer confided he’d “shot … up” Pujols. Early Saturday morning, the company that put Clark on the air announced it has "terminated its relationship" with Clark and his co-host, Kevin Slaten.
