Governments spend way too much money supporting special interests that are fundamentally self supporting. When the Nederlander High Council (or whatever it's called over there in Holland) cut funding to the Royal Dutch Athletics Union, motivated sportsters took matters in their own hands (so to speak).

Dutch athletes bare all to pay for training

Female Dutch athletes are baring all on a pay-per-view website to fund training abroad during the winter after cuts in subsidies left them in the cold.

Some 250 photos of six women are on www.sportmeiden.nl, which received almost two million hits on Monday alone.

The site is comedically amateurish as far as porn sites go (not that I would know) but the people running it seem to grasp what the nudie chasers on the net are looking for:

The photographer and co-founder of the Dutch site, Alex Boer, said there was enough interest to add new photos each week and some male athletes had also asked to be included.

"First we will see how it goes as it is, then we will decide whether or not to set up a site for sportsmen."

How's that for a delicate brush off? "Nude men? Who's going to pay to see nude men?"
