The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) banned Donell “DJ” Cooper Jr, a 28-year-old point guard who last played for AS Monaco, for two years for “fraud” after a urine sample was found to contain a hormone commonly associated with pregnancy.

Is this for real? I heard this kind of story as a joke 50 years ago, with the punchline: “The good news is that you passed the drug test. The bad news is that you’re pregnant.”

Wonder if that ‘sample’ was provided by one of his girlfriends?

It was probably her way of telling him he was gonna be a Daddy!

Slovenia’s national broadcaster RTV reported that Cooper submitted his girlfriend’s
sample to the drug test, but FIBA declined to confirm or deny the claim and said
it would not release any further information or make any comment about the case.

Actually he was. Maybe the NBA knew of his problems.
