From the New York Post:

D.J. Cooper, a former Ohio University star who’s played professionally in Europe, is currently suspended by FIBA after using someone else’s urine for a doping test — a sample which showed Cooper was pregnant, according to Eurohoops.net.

Cooper, 28, was interested in joining Bosnia as a naturalized player. Specifically, Cooper tested positive for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced during pregnancy by the placenta. The urine allegedly belonged to Cooper’s girlfriend, according to RTV Slovenia.

It’s unclear what Cooper might have been trying to hide, but it stands to reason he wouldn’t have used his girlfriend’s urine had they known she was pregnant.

The guard, who stepped away from Monaco in 2018 for “family reasons,” is suspended until June 20, 2020.

The Chicago native played at Ohio from 2009-2013 before going undrafted in the NBA Draft. He was on the Washington Wizards’ summer league roster in 2016. In addition to Monaco, Cooper has also played for teams in Greece, Russia and France. He was the French ProA MVP in 2017.
