Alex Rodriguez’s now-famous peddler of drugs (that can be bought over the counter in the Dominican Republic!) Yuri Whathisname has been banned from the Yankees facilities.

One day after A-Rod was chauffeured from Dunedin Stadium back to Tampa by his cousin Yuri Sucart, the Yankees met with the third baseman to inform him that Sucart was no longer allowed anywhere near the team.

“Yuri won’t be around anymore,” a source with knowledge of the meeting told the Daily News. “They can’t stop him from hanging out with him away from the ballpark, but he won’t be at the ballpark.”

Normally getting banned from anything would make you a much cooler person, but look at this guy. He looks like he’s auditioning for the lead in Pablo Blart: Mall Bandito. That’s not racist, is it? Eh, he’s Dominican. I have tons of Dominican friends.
