Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens is alleged to have had a long-standing affair with the then 15-year-old aspiring country singer Mindy McCready, when Clemens was 28 and married.

Clemens denies any wrongdoing. Hmm...I'm having the strangest sense of déjà vu.

Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox ace, the Daily News reported.

Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed a long-term relationship but told the newspaper it was not sexual.

"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her," Hardin said. "He's considered her a close family friend. ... He has never had a sexual relationship with her."

McCready's lawyer, Lee Ofman, said he did not have any comment on the Daily News story.

Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he first met McCready, the newspaper reported.

Jarrett Martineau, I like this story. It's good stuff. I was writing this story up. Title was "Is Roger Clemons doing more than steriods" and I saw you beat me. Good job
