Seve denies suicide attempt reports
16 January 2007
In advance of the conference Ballesteros, not competing at Carnoustie, gave his first radio interview since last week's headlines and told BBC Radio Five Live: "I am perfect - doing great.
"I know that a lot of rumours have been out all over the world, all as a consequence of one of the TV channels in Spain. They said things that were not even close to reality and that's why I have to make a statement later in the day to deny the things."
He added: "I feel great - as good as ever and I want to say that I really appreciate all the people for the phone calls and letters and everything. They were really worried about my health.
"There was confusion. I have no idea how it arose. I was at hospital for several hours. I didn't feel good in my chest and thought my heart was not doing very good.
"I was there in observation and then I left because everything was OK. I don't know why those rumours happened. You can't control those things sometimes.
"The only important thing is that I am OK. I am very happy and everything is OK."
