Jack Clark, days after being sued for defamation for
accusing Albert Pujols of using steroids, is offering to take a lie-detector
test if Pujols does the same.
According to stltoday.com, the offer was made in a letter
sent Monday from Clark 's attorney to Pujols'
legal team.
Pujols, the former Cardinals star, filed suit Oct. 4 in St. Louis County
over comments made by Clark in early August
during “The King and The Ripper” sports talk program on WGNU 920 AM. Clark, the
former Cardinals slugger, said on-air he knew for a fact that Pujols “was a
juicer.”

He also claimed that former Pujols trainer Chris Mihlfeld
confided in him about shooting up Pujols with performance-enhancing drugs in
2000. Mihlfeld has denied talking with Clark .
The radio show was cancelled. The company that produced the show, insideSTL,
last week issued a lengthy retraction and apology.

Pujols' suit called Clark 's
statements "malicious, reckless and outrageous falsehoods."
But Clark was not backing
down.
In the letter from Clark's attorney Al Watkins, Clark proposed settling the lawsuit by both sides
submitting to polygraph tests.
The letter laid out various remedies pending the outcome of
the polygraphs. All of them involved one party or another apologizing.
