Overview
- Paddle UK suspended the 23-year-old from all competition and training for two years and de-selected him from the UK Sport-funded World Class Programme.
- An independent panel found he posted a video in March depicting a sexual act on an aircraft to his public Instagram, which he admitted and which was later removed.
- The ruling cited gross misconduct for indecent behaviour and offensive use of social media under section 8.6 of the Athlete Disciplinary Policy.
- The panel concluded he intentionally misinformed the press by attributing his initial suspension to his OnlyFans account.
- Rozentals told BBC Sport the punishment felt "very extreme" and argued limited sport funding pushed him toward monetised content, noting £16,000 in annual support versus a claimed six-figure social-media income between January and May.
