Athlete Banned From 2028 Olympic Games for OnlyFans Account
A British canoeist says he was banned from the 2028 Olympics due to his OnlyFans account.
In an Instagram post in April, Kurts Adams Rozentals stated he got a call from a Paddle UK representative who informed him of his ban.
“I got a call from a PaddleUK representative, where I was told that i’m banned from competing at the 2nd and final part of GB team selections as well as banned from speaking to my coach, staff and teammates. PaddleUK’s reasoning? My social media posts.”
According to Paddle UK, Rozentals won a silver medal in the canoe slalom at the World Under-23 Championships in 2023, while also picking up a silver as part of a three-man team at the same event.
Rozentals stated he made on OnlyFans account as a means of income.
“I started making what they now describe ‘edgy videos’, with the focus to grow a following, because trying to live on the salary PaddleUK pays their athletes is near impossible.” He continued: “I was sick of worrying how to pay rent, I was sick of being on the verge of homelessness. I did whatever it took to never be in that position. was it unconventional? sure. I’m not perfect, but to ban me from racing? To ban me from speaking to my teammates like i’m some criminal? That’s fu**ing insane.”
According to CNN, Paddle UK is conducting an investigation into Rozentals’ conduct.
“Paddle UK can confirm that in line with our Athlete Disciplinary Policy, an athlete on the canoe slalom programme is under interim action, pending the outcome of an investigation,” the governing body said.“The investigation has been referred to independent investigation service Sport Integrity.”
