Albert Pujols has sued Jack Clark over comments made on a local radio show accusing him of using steroids.

The lawsuit was filed in Circuit Court in St. Louis County. It seeks unspecified damages that would be donated to charity, and asks for a determination and declaration that Clark's statements are false.

The petition says Pujols' "character and reputation are impeccable and beyond reproach" and cites his charitable work with the Pujols Family Foundation, while calling Clark "a struggling radio talk show host" who was chasing ratings in the first week his new show was on the air.
