Clemens denies drug use again

NEW YORK: Seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens once again vehemently denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs by saying it would be "suicidal" given his family's history of heart problems.

"Our family has a history of heart conditions," Clemens said. "My brother had a heart attack in his late 40s. My stepdad died of a heart attack. I mean, it would be suicidal to even think about taking any of these dangerous drugs."

Speaking on a New York area radio show on Tuesday, Clemens also reiterated that he never received drugs from former New York Yankees trainer Brian McNamee.
