Albert Pujols plans to take legal action against Jack Clark after the former St. Louis Cardinals slugger accused Pujols of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Clark made the accusations on his radio show on WGNU 920 AM in St. Louis.
"I am currently in the process of taking legal action against Jack Clark and his employers at WGNU 920AM," Pujols said in a statement.
"I am going to send a message that you cannot act in a reckless manner, like they have, and get away with it. If I have to be the athlete to carry the torch and pave the way for other innocent players to see that you can do something about it, I am proud to be that person. I have five young children and I take being a role model very seriously. The last thing I want is for the fans, and especially the kids out there, to question my reputation and character."
