Yuri Sucart, the cousin of Alex Rodriguez that the star claimed provided him with performance-enhancing drugs, has consulted with an attorney about filing a lawsuit against Rodriguez.

"I know there's a lot of friction. I know that (Sucart's) name got caught in the crossfire of all the allegations involving all the performance-enhancing drugs," attorney John Ruiz said. "I've been consulted about it. But obviously because there's an attorney/client relationship, I can't really divulge details."

The possibility that the cousins might square off in court was first reported by The MLB Nation. The site reported that Sucart will seek $5 million in damages and that Rodriguez has turned down a settlement proposal.
