Olympic hopeful explains what was in the plane video for OnlyFans that got him banned from sport

Olympic hopeful and OnlyFans creator Kurts Adams Rozentals has been banned from Paddle UK for two years after posting a video on Instagram showing a sexual act on a plane, and he has now spoken out about it.

Rozentals, 23, had joined  OnlyFans in December 2024 to help fund his canoeing career. He earned more than £100,000 between January and May 2025, far surpassing the £16,000 annual grant he received from Paddle UK.

After he posted the video, he received a two-year ban. The disciplinary panel ruled the clip “explicit” and said it brought the sport into “serious disrepute.” The ban prevents him from competing or training and removes him from the World Class Programme, putting his 2028 Olympic ambitions on hold.

And now he has actually spoken out about the video.

Rozentals has consistently described the video as “edgy” rather than explicit. He also said that it was a “very extreme” decision from Paddle UK. In an interview with Sky News, he said, “I think the outcome is very extreme. I’m only human. I make mistakes, but banning me for two years… I think it’s pretty wild.”

He then added, “It didn’t get removed by Instagram… it wasn’t explicit. It wasn’t anything that’s not suitable for Instagram.”

He also said, “In regards to the social media content, of course, it’s not what they want their athletes to be ideally making. It’s obviously edgy content. I understand the image that they [Paddle UK] want athletes to portray. And it does not align with the image that Paddle UK is trying to cultivate of professionalism and whatnot. But also, that doesn’t get views. That also doesn’t get that doesn’t drive attention. And that’s not going to drive sponsorships.”

Rozentals didn’t exactly say what was in the video, but he told LADbible that the clip “wasn’t anything that crazy” and that “a bigger deal has been made out of it than needed.”

Rozentals noted that while the plane video earned him thousands of pounds in just a few hours, it “wasn’t his highest earning video by any means.”

He defended the video’s compliance with social media rules and said the controversy was overblown. “I’ve gotten a lot of heat about OnlyFans, but I don’t regret it. It’s allowed me to put food on the table and enjoy training,” Rozentals said.

Throughout his interviews, Rozentals has emphasised that the video reflected nothing illegal. And that the attention it received was more about perception than the actual content.
