Publicly withdraw a statement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recant

(Other definitions for recant that I've seen before include "Abjure, forswear" , "Withdrawn former statement or belief" , "Go back on former belief" , "Repudiate (belief)" , "Revoke a former declaration" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
