> The article doesn't mention how spicy his OnlyFans account is, but I'm assuming his OF content is such that it would be hard to argue it doesn't qualify as "indecent" or "immoral."

What is indecent or immoral is almost entirely subjective. Some cultures approve of cannabalism. Some do not see breasts as sexual. Some see sex as a rite and something to acheive. Some see dominance as moral (i.e. only the strong shall lead). Random murder is the closest society has come to an universal moral, even then, what seems random could be killings to save face for the family.

Morality is exceptionally tricky at the global scale. The Olympics body is imposing their morals, not everyone's morals.

It's the UK sport association for his sport limiting an athlete in England, so English law and morals are relevant here.
Prostitution is legal and a crown protected profession in the UK. Thus the law says it is neither indecent nor immoral.

You'll find the judgement of what is moral exceptionally broad in such a country.
