….former president zsolt borkai has been expelled from the hungarian olympic committee following a sex scandal
ZSOLT BORKAI has been dropped from the HUNGARIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE (MOB) as he continues to pay the price for appearing in a video that had emerged publicly of him having sex with a young woman on a yacht.
BORKAI, a father of two and winner of an Olympic gold medal in POMMEL HORSE at Seoul 1988, found himself at the centre of a sex scandal when the X-rated video emerged days before the local elections in Hungary earlier this month.
The footage posted on PORNHUB, the world’s largest adult website, showed the 54-year-old BORKAI cavorting around with prostitutes surrounded by bottles of alcohol on the yacht off the coast of Croatia in the Adriatic Sea.
BORKAI at first claimed he was being targeted in a smear campaign to oust him from office but later admitted it was him in the video.
He managed to retain his position as the Mayor of HUNGARIAN city GYŐR but the scandal angered Hungary’s Prime Minister VIKTOR ORBÁN, an ally whose dominant right-wing FIDESZ PARTY suffered large losses in the local elections, which was partly blamed on the scandal.
Shortly after his election victory, BORKAI stepped down as a member of FIDESZ.
BORKAI was President of MOB between 2010 and 2017 before being defeated in an election by double Olympic fencing medallist KRISZTIÁN KULCSÁR.
He continued to serve on MOB, though, as a delegate of the HUNGARIAN GYMNASTICS FEDERATION (MATSZ).
