NZ Olympian to sell brothel to compete

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- A New Zealand taekwondo athlete who opened a brothel to fund his Olympic campaign is auctioning off the business and will use the proceeds to pay his way to overseas competitions, he said yesterday.

Logan Campbell, who finished in the top 16 in the featherweight division at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was condemned by the New Zealand Olympic Committee when he opened a "high class gentleman's club" in Auckland to finance future competition.

Campbell will sell the business on an auction Web site and hopes to raise $300,000 (US$210,000) toward the cost of his bid to represent New Zealand at the 2012 London Olympics.
