Jack Clark Fired Over Albert Pujols Steroid Allegations

((stltoday.com))

Okay...

Former St. Louis Cardinal player and now former St. Louis radio host Jack Clark was taken off the air after making allegations that former Cardinal and current Los Angeles Angel Albert Pujols took steroids.

The allegations appear to not be new. Clark appears to have made the references over several years before repeating them on the radio during his new radio shows first week.

He attributes the allegations to a former trainer of Pujols who he says told him that Pujols had been "Shot Up" multiple times.

Pujols for his part was tired of the allegations. So he made it public that he was going to file suit against Clark and his employer, WGNU Radio.

WGNU relieved Clark of his duties early Saturday morning.

Why Clark continued and apparently continues to make the steroid allegations is unclear. However Pujols has never, to public knowledge, ever been considered a potential steroid user.

The whole thing sounds like some sort of beef between the two guys. In fact, you could make the argument Clark was trying to drum up ratings for his fledgling radio show which just launched August 1st.

Either way, the public dispute hasn't abated as Clark and the former trainer have been on TV telling their side of the story. The trainer, Chris Mihlfield denies ever saying it. Clark says he "Knows for a fact" Mihfield told him it was true.
