i've seen 4 years.
the penalty is usually an indicator of how serious the case was against the sanctioned athlete.
we're just reading a snippet here. my guess is that what he was busted for was viewed as more sever and they deemed there to be evidence of intent beyond the norm.
that's just conjecture based on what i've seen from other 1st time losers getting served with 4.
