Kurts Adams Rozentals joined the World Class Programme in 2022
A British canoeist has been banned for two years for posting "explicit" footage of himself on social media.
A disciplinary panel found that Kurts Adams Rozentals brought the sport into "serious disrepute" when he uploaded a video of him performing what it called a "sexual act" on an aeroplane to his public Instagram account in March, and that this amounted to gross misconduct.
As well as being banned from all competition and training, he has also been deselected from the World Class Programme - UK Sport's lottery-funded initiative to help athletes at the 2028 and 2032 Olympics - by Paddle UK.
Rozentals, 23, told BBC Sport he felt the punishment was "very extreme" and does not regret the video.
