If you go for a drug test, chances are you might test positive, or negative. But if you happen to be a basketball player DJ Cooper, you may as well come out being pregnant. Bizarre, but here's the full deal.

American basketball player DJ Cooper has received one of the more astounding suspensions in recent memory. He didn't test positive for any performance enhancing drugs, recreational drugs or any of the other usual suspects, but it was for a really strange reason - it was revealed after the test that he is 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, as per the report, actually belonged to his girlfriend ¡ª who likely didn¡¯t know she was pregnant at the time.
So, International Basketball Federation (FIBA) suspended Cooper for fraud. He¡¯s eligible to return on June 20, 2020.?
As bizarre as they come, I'm not sure how to react to that. DJ Cooper must be the the first sportsperson to be banned for something so mystifying. What a story. Truth is stranger than fiction and this is just plain weird. There is a logical explanation and yet the logic still makes it bizarre.?
