US EditionCanoeist and OnlyFans creator criticises two-year ban over 'explicit' Instagram video
Rozentals received a two-year ban for breaching Paddle UK's social media policy on offensive behaviour despite earning over £100,000 from related content, the panel said.
- On Saturday, Paddle UK banned Kurts Adams Rozentals for two years after a disciplinary panel decision following an independent investigation and hearing, noting he admitted posting an explicit Instagram video.
- Paddle UK's disciplinary panel found breaches of the Athlete Code of Conduct and Performance Athlete Agreement amounted to gross misconduct, violating rules on indecent behaviour and offensive social media use.
- Rozentals said he made more than six figures on OnlyFans and claimed earnings exceeding £100,000 from social media videos between January and May, while calling the ban 'pretty wild' and denying the Instagram clip was explicit.
- The panel found Rozentals had 'intentionally misinformed the press' about the suspension's link to OnlyFans, and Paddle UK said it is 'committed to ensuring a safe and open environment for all'.
- Rozentals vowed 'One way or another, I'll make it to the Olympics.' and acknowledged his content 'does not align with image that Paddle UK is trying to cultivate of professionalism and whatnot'.
