TAMPA, Florida — Yankees star Alex Rodriguez said Monday he will cooperate with US investigators probing a Canadian doctor accused of selling an unapproved drug.Rodriguez said he was waiting to hear further from authorities investigating doctor Anthony Galea.Galea is facing four charges in Canada related to the drug known as Actovegin, which is extracted from calf's blood and used for healing but is not approved for sale in the United States or Canada.His assistant also has been charged in the United States for having Human Growth Hormone - banned in the sports world as a performance enhancer - and another drug while crossing the border in September.Rodriguez said Monday he couldn't comment on the probe, but indicated he had been contacted."I can't really get into that," Rodriguez said.
