The Cousin is Real

ESPN Deportes reports the cousin Alex Rodriguez said in his press conference Tuesday is real. His name is Yuri Sucart.

When ESPN Deportes called Sucart's residence in Florida, his wife picked up and did not deny the allegations.

"My husband has nothing to say," she said. "What A-Rod said at the press conference is what happened and that is all."

This proves that Rodriguez was telling the truth about his cousin supplying him with "boli" from the Dominican Republic from 2001-03.

According to Amy Nelson of ESPN, a friend close to Rodriguez says he and his cousin were very close to eachother.

"He did what Alex told him to. He was only looking out for Alex," his friend said. "He is not a guy who would take the initiative to go out and buy drugs. Alex said during the press conference that his cousin just did what was asked."
