UPDATE 1-Clinic owner charged with felony in baseball doping scandal

(Corrects timing of player suspensions in paragraph 9) By Zachary Fagenson MIAMI, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. government on Tuesday filed criminal charges against the owner of a defunct Florida anti-aging clinic at the center of a doping scandal involving Major League Baseball players, according to court records. Anthony Bosch, 50, faces one count of conspiracy to distribute testosterone, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Bosch was among a group of people accused of illegally providing steroids to some of baseball's biggest stars, including New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, who was the National League's most valuable player in 2011 but missed much of the 2013 season due to a suspension for violating baseball's drug policy.
