MLB stars Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman were both named in an Al Jazeera exposé on "the secret world of sports doping."
In response, the lawyer for both players has issued a statement.
“It’s inexcusable and irresponsible that Al Jazeera would provide a platform and broadcast outright lies about Mr. Howard and Mr. Zimmerman,” said William Burck of the Quinn Emanuel firm.
“The extraordinary reckless claims made against our clients in this report are completely false and rely on a source who has already recanted his claims.
“We will go to court to hold Al Jazeera and other responsible parties accountable for smearing our clients’ good names.
