Howard is going after the TV network after being implicated in a new PED scandal.
One week after Al Jazeera aired a documentary in which a number of high profile athletes were implicated in a new scandal concerning performance enhancing drugs, Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman have filed a lawsuit against the network.
The Denver Broncos' Peyton Manning, who was the primary focus of Al Jazeera's expose entitled "The Dark Side," has not filed suit as of yet.
In a statement released by his representatives, Howard said he was going after the network and its reporters.
