Alex Rodriguez has strongly denied a report that he implicated fellow players as performance-enhancing drug users back in January.

"It's not true," Rodriguez said.

"60 Minutes" reported that someone in Rodriguez's "inner circle" leaked the names of Francisco Cervelli and Ryan Braun, who both had been redacted from the original Miami New Times story about the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic.

Rodriguez also implied the story was just the latest in a series of leaks designed to further tarnish his image.
