A basketball player was recently suspended by FIBA, the worlds governing body for basketball, until June 2020 for attempting to cheat a drug test, according to RTV, a media company in Slovenia. Cooper, a former Ohio University guard who was a part of the schools Sweet 16 team in 2012, cheated the test? As it turns out, Cooper submitted a urine sample for the drug test that belonged to his pregnant girlfriend. To rewind, after finishing out his time at Ohio University in 2013, Cooper started a career in Europe, eventually being granted citizenship in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2014. It was an interesting twist since Cooper left the Bosnia-Herzegovina national team in 2015, but he obviously was looking to get back on that team.
