Overview
- Paddle UK's independent disciplinary panel ruled his conduct was gross misconduct, citing breaches for indecent behaviour and offensive use of social media.
- The sanction covers all competition and training, and he has been removed from the UK Sport lottery‑funded World Class Programme for Olympic hopefuls.
- The case stems from an explicit Instagram video posted in March, with an initial suspension in April and a panel finding that his public OnlyFans explanation misrepresented the cause.
- Sport Integrity carried out the investigation that led to the hearing and subsequent disciplinary decision.
- Rozentals called the penalty "very extreme" and pointed to financial pressures, noting £16,000 in annual support from Paddle UK while claiming six‑figure earnings from social media.
