TAMPA, Florida (AP) — Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has been contacted by federal investigators regarding a Canadian doctor accused of selling an unapproved drug.

Rodriguez said Monday he was "aware" of the investigation and will cooperate with government officials. He said an interview date has not been set.

Dr. Anthony Galea is facing four charges in his country related to the drug known as Actovegin, which is extracted from calf's blood and used for healing. His assistant also has been charged in the U.S. for having HGH and another drug while crossing the border in September.

A-Rod said the probe won't have an affect on him because "this is about someone else."

Mets shortstop Jose Reyes said Sunday he met with federal investigators last week.
