Cameron Leslie, a New Zealander living in Norway, has
apologised for his comments in a Campbell Live interview earlier this
week.
Mr Leslie was at a gym near the site where a bomb made by Anders Breivik exploded on the weekend, killing eight.
In his interview Mr Leslie discusses his experiences immediately after the bomb, referring to being on his eighth set lifting 165kgs.
He now admits this was a joke, and wants to say sorry.
“The joke was supposed to be subtle and focused to friends and family but due to little preparation and nerves of live TV I took this a bit too far without thinking. I do apologise and now wish to make good of this,” he says in a blog.
Mr Leslie says he is a dedicated Norwegian resident, having lived there for three-and-a-half years and representing the country in sport.
He says he hopes the international attention he has generated can be utilised to gain traction for a campaign aiming to remove Breivik’s name and face ‘removed from the tabloids’.
