According to Cooper, the Team Doctor made the decision to remove him due to "a possible herniated disk in [Cooper's] lumbar spine." The injury apparently occurred "during the very last lift of of [Cooper's] training cycle."

As an elite competitor who was preparing to represent his country at a World Championship, Cooper is clearly disappointed in this development but promises he'll recover and be back on the platform.
