A cousin of New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, who was the star's longtime personal assistant, has been sentenced to seven months in prison after pleading guilty to federal drug charges stemming from baseball's South Florida steroids scandal. U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga also sentenced Yuri Sucart to serve six months of house arrest after his release from prison and imposed a $5,000 fine on Thursday. He could later be deported to his native Dominican Republic. Sucart, 53, is the last of eight people to plead guilty for roles in providing steroids to Rodriguez and other athletes through the Biogenesis of America clinic owned by Anthony Bosch.Yuri Sucart, 53, was sentenced on Thursday after pleading guilty to federal drug charges stemming from baseball's South Florida steroids scandalHe also received six months of house arrest on his release, a $5,000 fine and could be deported back to his native Dominican RepublicLast of eight people to plead guilty to providing steroids to Rodriguez and other athletes through the Biogenesis of America clinicSucart had attempted to bride A-Rod for $5 million and a house, but settled for about $900,000
