NZ Olympic hopeful opens brothel to raise money.

    An Olympic hopeful from New Zealand has opened a brothel in a bid to raise cash for a tilt at taekwondo glory in 2012.
    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.


    Jaysus, New Zealand don't do fundraisers but if they did....

    Why should this go against him when it comes to selections? It's legal is it not? :confused:

    It won't go against him if the selectors are mostly male and get an invite to his club, where they can reach a decision purely on merit, after going through an exhaustive selection process.

    :D I am sure they will probe his operation inside and out.

    And they'll have a break from their deliberations for a cup of tea and a big piece of tart.

    Someone should remind them of the Olympic motto:

    Harder, Faster, Stronger
