Mindy McCready has gone ahead and confirmed the rumors reported yesterday that she and Roger Clemens had a long-term affair.

"Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time," said McCready, reading from a statement she gave to the New York Daily News, which broke the story. She said she couldn't refute anything in the Daily News' story, which alleged that Clemens and McCready first met when the singer was 15, and that Clemens even helped Mindy through her legal troubles of the last 4 years.
