Former Ohio Bobcat DJ Cooper on FIBA suspension list for submitting pregnant woman’s urine to a drug test

In one of the wildest stories to ever come out of Euopean professional basketball, Slovenian media company RTV reported Saturday afternoon that DJ Cooper, former Ohio University Bobcats star and March Madness hero, received a suspension from FIBA, basketball’s international body, last season for attempting to cheat a drug test.

Sure, players get suspended fairly often for trying to get away with doping or recreational drugs, but in this case, it’s a bit different. Per RTV, as translated by EuroHoops, Cooper tested positive for pregnancy, resulting in his immediate suspension for fraud.
