Brothel For Olympics

A Beijing Olympics taekwondo participant opens a brothel that angers New Zealand Olympic authority

When Logan Campbell participated in taekwondo in the Beijing Olympics, it had taken 1,50,000 New Zealand dollars (about Rs 50 lakh) of his parents’ hard earned money. For the 2012 London Games, he had a better idea to raise the money—start a brothel. His ‘high class gentleman’s club’ swung  into action in July in Auckland. But the New Zealand Olympics committee has decided that a brothel really does not go with the ‘Olympics values of ‘excellence, friendship and respect’. ‘Your open solicitation of ‘clients’ for your ‘business’ while using the Olympic or Olympian connection must cease immediately, or the NZOC will be forced to consider taking legal action against you,’ it cautioned Campbell in a letter. Running a brothel, incidentally, is legal in New  Zealand.
