ESPN The Magazine- AMERICAN TARGET SHOOTER Josh Lakatos faced a conundrum. Halfway through the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, he and his rifle-toting teammates were finished with their events, and the U.S. Olympic Committee and team officials had ordered them to turn in the keys to their three-story house and head back to the States. But Lakatos didn't want to leave. He knew from his experience four years earlier in Atlanta, where he'd won silver, that the Olympic Village was just about to erupt into a raucous party, and there was no way he was going to miss it. So he asked the maid at the emptied-out dwelling if she'd kindly look the other way as he jimmied the lock. "I don't care what you do," she replied.
Within hours, word of the nearly vacant property had spread. Popping up once every two years, the Olympic Village is a boisterous city within a city: chock-full of condos, midrises and houses as well as cafés, barbershops, arcades, discos and TV lounges. The only thing missing is privacy -- nearly everyone is stuck with a roommate. So while Lakatos claimed a first-floor suite for himself, the remaining rooms were there for the taking. The first to claim space that night were some Team USA track and field fellas.
"The next morning," Lakatos says, "swear to God, the entire women's 4x100 relay team of some Scandinavian-looking country walks out of the house, followed by boys from our side. And I'm just going, 'Holy crap, we'd watched these girls run the night before.'"
And on it went for eight days as scores of Olympians, male and female, trickled into the shooter's house -- and that's what everyone called it, Shooters' House -- at all hours, stopping by an Oakley duffel bag overflowing with condoms procured from the village's helpful medical clinic. After a while, it dawned on Lakatos: "I'm running a friggin' brothel in the Olympic Village! I've never witnessed so much debauchery in my entire life."

Holy shit! Who would of thought a bunch of Olympic athletes crammed together in a "village" would go around fucking like its 500 B.C.? So much for the image of chaste Olympians who don't do anything but train, compete, eat, and sleep. How bout this dude who was running a brothel in his room? Just getting condoms room serviced to his room like a motherfucker. He can play dumb, but I guarantee he knew what he was doing the whole time. What a disgrace to America. If Romney was president, this dude would be exiled to North Korea. In all seriousness though, who created this image of Olympians? They're a bunch of good looking, 20-something year olds essentially on vacation in what is a glorified college campus. Obviously they're going to party, drink, and have sex. Just because they're freakishly good athletes doesn't mean they're any different from me or any other good-looking, 20-something year old. If I was an Olympic athlete you can damn well be sure that I'd have whirlpool orgies with the entire Italian women's soccer team every night.
