Logan Campbell, whose participation in the Beijing Olympics last year cost him NZ$150,000 ($110,600) -- most of which came from his parents -- opened a brothel with a friend in Auckland earlier this year.
Campbell went public with the scheme in July and the 23-year-old said he hoped to raise NZ$300,000 to alleviate any financial burden on his parents and to have more time to concentrate on training.
After remaining silent on the issue for three months, the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) had written a letter to Campbell demanding he cease linking the Olympics to his business or face legal action, the athlete told New Zealand television Wednesday.

Why the hell is everyone so hung up on sex and sexuality. If brothels are legal there, which they evidently are... then what right do they have to condemn the athletes chosen profession?
If an american athlete ran a cat house in Vegas I wouldn't give a damn. It's no ones business as long as he's not breaking any laws.
People and their fake morality. I'd bet anything that the men on the committee giving the athlete hell are regular watchers of internet porn... which is just a portrayal of women being paid to have sex. The same thing that they are bitching about.
But because they can hide their enjoyment of it and he chose to just be open about his part in it... they wax all holy and phony.
Hypocrites. Every damn one of them.
