Not exactly "too much" and definitely not "at last"... I know it's been successful at least three times before (cause two were Canadian's)

OK, not doping exactly.....

 

A British canoeist has been banned for two years for posting "explicit" footage of himself on social media.

 

A disciplinary panel found that Kurts Adams Rozentals brought the sport into "serious disrepute" when he uploaded a video of him performing what it called a "sexual act" on an aeroplane to his public Instagram account in March, and that this amounted to gross misconduct.

But certainly a dope. Well, he apparently has earned a lot of money from his adult career, so perhaps that's the gamble he chose.

 

Interesting that he originally told a bit of a fib about what he was being investigated for - he claimed it was his adult site content, but it turned out it was leaking some of that content on a more mainstream social media site, on an account linking to Gb Canoeing.

 

It's a long way from cheeky rugby calendars with carefully placed balls...

Linking it to GB canoeing was kind of dumb if true. Other than that, starting an adult content career on the side (especially on a platform made for that) should very obviously not lead to any kind of trouble for his sports career whatsoever. Same kind of nonsense as American teachers being fired because of having an Onlyfans page.

Wasn't there a Dutch gymnast who went on have a career in porn films?
