Yuri Sucart’s wife: A-Rod ‘peed’ in her house and ‘is the devil’
The family of Yuri Sucart — Alex Rodriguez’s legally embattled cousin and former personal assistant — won’t take quietly accusations Rodriguez has made regarding a $5 million shakedown over performance-enhancing drugs and other embarrassing matters.
Carmen Sucart, Yuri’s wife, calls Rodriguez “evil,” says he’s “the devil,” and claims he’s not housebroken. In a New York Daily News exclusive that took four bylines, Carmen Sucart claims that in 2010 Rodriguez came to the Sucarts’ home in Florida (which Rodriguez bought for them) and urinated on a wall and patio “as if to mark his territory,” saying he would destroy them if they ever went public with stories about A-Rod’s PED use or his “extramarital womanizing.”
“He was so arrogant, he came into my house like he thought he was a god,” Carmen Sucart said.
Carmen Sucart says her husband had always treated Rodriguez “like family,” standing ready to help 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that Rodriguez came to treat her husband as a “slave, a servant.”
“Everything Yuri do is for Alex,” she said.
The Daily News story is replete with photos of where A-Rod streamed his message, allegedly.
The Stew blogged Wednesday about a report in the Miami Herald saying Rodriguez admitted his drug involvement to the DEA in January. A day before the Herald report, the Daily News wrote that A-Rod allegedly paid Yuri Sucart nearly $1 million for his silence on PEDs. Rodriguez also reportedly told authorities Yuri Sucart asked/demanded $5 million.
Before and since in public, A-Rod has denied involvement with Tony Bosch and Biogenesis that led to his season-long suspension in 2014.
Sucart, a defendant in the federal government’s case against Biogenesis, has pleaded not guilty to charges he sought to distribute testosterone and human growth hormone.
In A-Rod’s defense regarding the urination, nowhere does Mrs. Sucart mention that a rug was micturated upon — just a patio wall and floor. As anyone who has seen “The Big Lebowski” a thousand times knows, carpet fibers can be ruined, for all intents and purposes, once they have been soiled in such a manner. If he simply peed on a hardwood floor or laminate, the mess can be cleaned up with vinegar.
It’s only 106 days until spring training in Tampa.
