St. Louis Radio: Andrew Pujols Sues Ex-WGNU Host

Jack Clark

Former Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols is suing former Cardinals star Jack Clark over comments Clark made accusing Pujols of using steroids.

The suit was filed Friday in St. Louis County, according to stltoday.com.

On Aug. 2, Clark said during his The King and the Ripper radio program on WGNU 920 AM that he knew "for a fact" that Pujols used steroids and performance enhancing drugs.

Clark's statements are lies that have damaged Pujols' reputation, causing him personal humiliation, mental anguish and anxiety, the suit says.

Pujols' suit says his character and reputation are "impeccable and beyond reproach" and calls Clark a "struggling radio talk show host."  Clark was an independent contractor who bought airtime from insideStl Enterprises, a company that in turn buys weekday airtime on WGNU to air a series of sports-related talk shows.

The suit does not name the radio station or insideStl Enterprises as defendants.

On Aug. 10, insideSTL Enterprises said it had "terminated its relationship" with Clark, who it described as independent contractors, after just seven shows.
