Scott Pelley, Anthony Bosch

Federal authorities are charging the owner of a defunct Florida clinic accused of providing steroids and other banned substances to Major League Baseball players, including New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.

According to Miami federal court records Tuesday, Anthony Bosch faced one count of conspiracy to distribute testosterone.

Court documents say that from October 2008 through December 2012, Bosch willfully conspired to distribute the anabolic steroid testosterone.

Fourteen players associated with the Coral Gables clinic were disciplined last year by MLB, including a season-long 2014 suspension imposed on Rodriguez.

Bosch told “60 Minutes” he personally injected Rodriguez because “Alex is scared of needles, so at times, he would ask me to inject.”  Bosch was Major League Baseball’s chief witness in its case against Rodriguez. He cooperated with the league after it dropped Bosch from a lawsuit and paid his legal fees.

Bosch’s testimony helped him escape the MLB’s lawsuit but it’ll surely come back to bite him in this federal case.
