According to documents filed last week in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Rodriguez paid nearly $1 million to his cousin, Yuri Sucart, in exchange for Sucart's silence regarding A-Rod's illegal PED use in June 2013.

In August of 2013, Rodriguez was suspended for 211 games for his involvement in the Biogenesis drug scandal.

The story was first reported by the New York Daily News, citing documents filed in the pending criminal case against Sucart for his involvement with Biogenesis and its founder, Anthony Bosch, who pleaded guilty last month.
