Dire financial straits are leading droves of Olympic athletes to sell images of their bodies to subscribers on OnlyFans — known for sexually explicit content — to sustain their dreams of gold at the Games.

‘We haven’t had justice’: San Antonio mother charged in 2021 death of her toddler son still has no trial dateWorldFILE- Britain's Jack Laugher competes in the men's 3m springboard diving preliminary at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024, in Saint-Denis, France. – As they struggle to make ends meet, a spotlight is being cast on an Olympics funding system that watchdog groups condemn as “broken,” claiming most athletes “can barely pay their rent.

“That body is an amazing commodity that people want to pay to see. It’s a privilege to see a body that has six hours of work every day, six days a week put into it to make it Adonis-like,” said Mitcham, who describes himself as a “sex worker-lite.” Global Athlete, an organization created by athletes to address the power imbalance in sports, decried the dire state of Olympic financing.

“The IOC tries to convince these athletes that their lives will change after becoming an Olympian — there is nothing further from the truth. The fact is the majority of athletes are left in debt, face depression, and they are lost once finishing sport with no future employment pathway,” Koehler said.

A later statement from the IOC Executive Board said the IOC distributes 90% of its revenues to “the development of sport and athletes,” but didn't go into detail.“OnlyFans is helping them to support training and living costs, and providing the tools for success on and off the field,” the platform said in a statement.
