Currently doing work on my next book and thought I'd share one of my favourite sport stories I've just been researching again. Some of you will know it but it never gets old.
It's about DJ Cooper, a Chicago born point guard who just narrowly missed out on being drafted to the NBA, but managed to carve out a career in Europe after college.
In 2018 he’s playing for Monaco and he is notified that his recent drug test has come up clear for any performance drugs.
But he did test positive for something. The test reveals he is pregnant.
While obviously excited for him, this does leave the drug testers wondering how this is possible.
It turns out it’s possible because for his drug test, DJ used his girlfriend’s urine instead of his, one assumes to avoid testing positive for some drug that was in his system.
So DJ returns home to his girlfriend with some bad news, he’s been suspended from basketball for two years but also with some good news, she’s pregnant. That’s how she found out she was with child.
It was probably the worst pregnancy reveal in history.
When DJ Cooper announced he was leaving Monaco, instead of saying it was because he’d compromised a drug test, he said it was for ‘family reasons.’
Which I guess technically is true.
