Olympian Opens Brothel to Pay for Training (And, his Mom approves!)

OK…Interesting/weird story out of New Zealand…

Not sure this really fits with the Olympic ideals, but 2008 Olympian from New Zealand, Logan Campell has opened up a brothel to fund his training…

What do you think? Crazy, right???

Story on BBC:
Logan Campbell, 23, competed at Beijing in 2008, but has now opened a 14-room “gentleman’s club” after becoming tired of seeking funding from his parents.

New Zealand decriminalised prostitution six years ago, and brothels are allowed to operate with few restrictions.

But NZ Olympic officials say Campbell’s business venture may count against him when choosing a team for London 2012.
