Declare something to be the truth but without proof (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allege

(Other definitions for allege that I've seen before include "Accuse without established proof" , "Declare or assert without proof" , "State as a fact without proof" , "Declare without being able to prove" , "Make accusation without proof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
