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 Wednesday.
Logan Campbell (right), who finished in the top 16 in the featherweight division at the 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. The NZOC said such a business went against Olympic principles.
Campbell will sell the business on an auction Web site and hopes to raise $210,000 toward the cost of his bid to represent New Zealand at the 2012 London Olympics.
Darn: Students in Indianapolis Public Schools get to sleep in a bit Monday thanks to a one-hour delay scheduled to give bus drivers more time to get to work the morning after the Super Bowl. But they’ll have to make up for half the lost time.
The state’s largest school district initially scheduled a two-hour delay but changed course after the Indiana Department of Education said such delays should only be used for emergency situations.
“While we support the Colts, two-hour delays are reserved for emergency situations,” State Superintendent Tony Bennett said.

“You look at our team and we need bigger bodies, bigger frame and more speed. We kind of need all of it.”
