The Yankees star allegedly paid his cousin nearly $1 million to keep his secret, according to documents filed in federal court.
Federal prosecutors claim that Yankees star Alex Rodriguez paid Yuri Sucart, his cousin and former personal assistant, nearly $1 million to keep quiet about the baseball player's alleged use of PEDs.
Details about Sucart's arrangement with his cousin surfaced in court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, The Daily News first reported.

Bosch, former owner of the Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables, pleaded guilty last month to providing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes, including Rodriguez. Rodriguez has denied this connection.
Sucart allegedly agreed to keep his cousin's secret for "a sum of $5 million dollars and a life estate for he and his wife in the house (free and clear of any liens and mortgages) where he is currently living."
Per the court document, the baseball player and his cousin signed an agreement in June 2013. With a bulk payment of $700,000, and $200,000 paid over three months, Rodriguez effectively bought Sucart's silence for $900,000, officials charge.
The document says Sucart is using the money he was paid by Rodriguez to pay for his defense attorney.

The 2014 Jets are an eyesore, so it's only fitting that long-suffering fans plan to call for action within the organization by buying a billboard near MetLife Stadium.
The Jets' lone win this season was in Week 1 against the now 0-8 Raiders.

The "Fire John Idzik" campaign is being led by two long-suffering fans from New Jersey who blame the team's incompetence on GM John Idzik and are calling for team President Woody Johnson to fire him.
Join other long suffering Jets fans in our quest to rid the organization of our CLOWN GM. Our goal is to raise enough money to purchase a billboard in the vicinity of MetLife Stadium and let the Jets know that their most loyal fans are demanding change.
Show [President] Woody [Johnson] that we paid our [Personal Seat Licenses]. We put up with the massive rip-off that is MetLife Stadium and the absurd price of tickets & concessions. But we will no longer put up with John Idzik running the show.
