Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder has been arrested as part of a prostitution sting in Columbus.

The arrest took place last week after Snyder allegedly responded to a fake interest ad created by local police and then used responses to set up potential arrests.

He was one of 16 men charged during the sting after police led an uncover operation to crackdown on prostitution in the city.

Snyder is alleged to have set up a date with an undercover agent before offering to pay for oral sex, having arrived at the hotel 30 minutes after arranging the meet-up.

The 29-year-old was then 'arrested for engaging in prostitution by uniformed officers inside the hotel room', cops told TMZ in a statement.

It added: "He was issued a summons to appear in court on May 19 and was released from the scene."

Columbus Police Sargent Joe Albert revealed the arrest to reporters on Monday, explaining that Snyder was among 16 men arrested as part of the sting.

He is regarded as one of the most decorated wrestlers in recent American history.

Snyder is the youngest wrestler to win the world, NCAA and Olympic championships in the same year.

He captured gold at the 2016 Olympics and secured a silver medal at the 2020 Olympics before coming short of claiming a third medal at the 2024 Olympics.

He is also a seven-time medalist at the World Championships of wrestling and a three-time National Champion after wrestling at Ohio State University.

The US wrestler, born in Maryland, was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame last year after winning three national championships at Ohio State.

Snyder, who once served on Donald Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, had just signed to participate in the new Real American Freestyle wrestling promotion that was launched by WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan and former WWE executive Eric Bischoff.

He also teased a move into mixed martial arts with the UFC before turning his attention to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
