Fiba world cup 2019
Quote:
D.J. Cooper stepped away from AS Monaco late in 2018 for “family reasons,” though attempted to join the Bosnian national team as a naturalized player later that year.
The former Ohio standout never made it, however, and was instead handed a two-year suspension from FIBA for failing a drug test. But it wasn’t performance enhancing drugs, recreational drugs or any of the other usual suspects that thwarted Cooper.
His drug test, according to Eurohoops.net, revealed that he was pregnant.
The test on the urine that Cooper provided revealed the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, which is a hormone made by the placenta during pregnancy. That urine, per the report, actually belonged to his girlfriend — who likely didn’t know she was pregnant at the time.
So, FIBA suspended Cooper for fraud. He’s eligible to return on June 20, 2020.
Cooper played for the Bobcats from 2009-2013, starting in nearly every game in his collegiate career while averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per contest. After going undrafted, the guard took his talents to Europe. He played two seasons in the Greek League, for both Panathinaikos and AEK Athens, and then three in the French league with three different teams.
He averaged 6.7 points and 7.2 assists over 26 games in his last season with Monaco in 2017-18.

lol the comment section is the funniest I've seen in a while. Poor guy not only is not allowed to play b-ball but how will he be able to support the baby that is coming. This is not a political thread so don't make it one.. it's funny as hell though |
