Politicians in power do not want to appear as weak, ever.
FDR hid his paralysis, Regan hid his medical problems, Bush, etc. etc. The public needs to perceive their leaders to be of sound mind (except in W Bush's case) and sound body.
Blair doesn't want to be perceived as physically weak cause it could cost him the throne.
Simple as that.
Clinton is most likely telling the truth, but he of all people should understand discretion and kept his gate shut.
