Clark Suspended Nine Games

MLS has sus­pended Ricardo Clark of Hous­ton for nine games and given him a $10,000 sus­pen­sion. This is an unprece­dented fine for MLS, but given Clark’s actions against Car­los Ruiz last week, the league felt the fine and sus­pen­sion were jus­ti­fied. Given Car­los Ruiz’s his­tory as a provo­ca­teur I am anx­ious to hear Clark’s side of the story.
