Roger Clemens apologized Sunday for making "mistakes" in his personal life, the Houston Chronicle reported.

"I know that many people want to know what I have to say about the recent articles in the media," Clemens said in a statement to the Houston Chronicle. "Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry. I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right."

Clemens did not admit specifics mistakes, and again denied that he ever used performance-enhancing drugs, as his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, has accused him of. Clemens is under investigation for perjury after he testified before Congress that he never used steroids.

"I believe my personal life has nothing to do with the accusations of steroid and HGH use," Clemens told the Chronicle. "I have already made clear that I did not use them."

The seven-time Cy Young Award winner also addressed the accusations that he had a relationship with country music singer Mindy McCready that began when she was just 15 years old.

"Now, I have been accused of having an improper relationship with a 15-year-old girl. Nothing could be further from the truth. This relationship has been twisted and distorted far beyond reality. It is just one of many, many accusations that are utterly false."

The New York Daily news reported the affair, which the newspaper claimed lasted for about a decade. McCready told the Daily News that she "cannot refute anything in the story" about her relationship with Clemens.

The pitcher also acknowledged the rumors that he had an affair with golfer John Daly's ex-wife, but he did not confirm the accusations.

Instead Clemens offered this statement to the Chronicle:

"I realize that many people want me to simply confess and apologize for the conduct that I have been accused of, but I cannot confess to, nor apologize for, things I did not do," Clemens said. "I have apologized to my family for my mistakes. And having offered this apology to the public, I would ask that you let me and my family deal with these matters in private."
