MIAMI — The former owner of the South Florida clinic that supplied performance-enhancing drugs to Major League Baseball players says he needs more drug rehab.
An attorney for Anthony Bosch is asking that his sentencing in the drug case be delayed from Dec. 18 to Feb. 6. Lawyer Guy Lewis says Bosch needs a second phase of treatment for his admitted cocaine addiction. A judge must approve the request.
Bosch pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy to distribute testosterone to MLB players and others from the now-closed Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables. Among the customers was Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, who was suspended for the entire 2014 season.
Bosch faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence but will likely get less because of his cooperation in the Biogenesis investigation.
