Rozentals, who competes in canoe slalom and is part of Paddle UK’s World Class Programme for Olympic hopefuls, was suspended in April by the governing body.
Rozentals told the BBC he began using OnlyFans -- a subscription-based service that allows users to monetise content, some of it adult in nature -- to post ‘spicy’ material.
Under Paddle UK’s World Class Programme, Rozentals receives 16,000 pounds in funding for his training but he says that does not allow him to be a full-time athlete.
“This is the hardest decision that I’ve ever faced in my life,“ Rozentals, who set up his OnlyFans account in January, said. “I came to the realisation about why I started doing this last winter after years of struggle, living on the edge, my mum working 90 hours-a-week, having bailiffs at the door.
Paddle UK said it’s interim action was not a disciplinary case but was “a neutral act” designed to protect all parties.
“Paddle UK is committed to ensuring a safe and open environment for all, and interim action under the Athlete Disciplinary Policy is only taken where necessary and proportionate.”
At last year’s Paris Olympics gay New Zealand rower Robbie Manson told Reuters that posting adult-themed content on the site had vastly-increased his income.
British diver Jack Laugher, who won bronze in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard in Paris, said he created his OnlyFans in 2024 to “make ends meet”.
