Former brothel owner makes Olympic team

It ain't cheap to get yourself Olympic-ready. New Zealand taekwondo athlete Logan Campbell spent $150,000 getting ready for the 2008 Olympics only to get tossed in the first round of the event. He really wanted to get back to the Games, but didn't have the bucks. So naturally, he opened a brothel in 2009 to fund his way. (Talk about faster, higher, stronger!) Now the 25-year-old has made the team, according to the New Zealand Herald. Campbell did sell the "high-class gentleman's club" back in 2010, after the media attention prompted sponsors to get involved. Now there's an inspiration for today's youth.
