Former Biogenesis owner Anthony Bosch has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for supplying performance-enhancing substances to Major League Baseball players and other athletes, according to the Associated Press.

US District Judge Darrin Gayles imposed the sentence Tuesday. Bosch was seeking a more lenient term because of his cooperation in the investigation. Prosecutors said Bosch could still get his sentence reduced through further cooperation.

Bosch pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy to distribute testosterone to athletes from the now-closed Biogenesis clinic. One of Bosch’s clients was embattled Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who was suspended for the 2014 season for his ties to the Biogenesis scandal.
