A growing number of Olympic athletes, including Britain's Jack Laugher, are turning to OnlyFans to financially support their training and living expenses as they prepare for the Games. This trend highlights a broken funding system, with many athletes struggling to afford basic necessities despite the Olympics generating billions in revenue. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has downplayed the situation, with spokesman Mark Adams suggesting athletes can do what they need to survive. Laugher, who charges $10 a month for 'safe for work' content, described the platform as a 'lifeline' amid drying sponsorships and unmet funding expectations. Other athletes have echoed similar sentiments, arguing the current system is exploitative and likening it to modern-day slavery. The issue raises questions about the financial support provided to athletes by national federations and the IOC.
