His current employers, Forsyth Barnes, have taken swift action in response.
"Forsyth Barnes understands that the leaked video of David Coote includes one of its employees, Ben Kitt," Forsyth Barnes co-founder Roheel Ahmad told Telegraph Sport.
"This is something that we are taking very seriously and we have suspended Ben on full pay while we investigate further.
"Although we are still in the process of gathering all the facts, we do know for certain that the video was taken some years before Ben became an employee of Forsyth Barnes.
"In his time with the business, Ben has demonstrated a strong [work] ethic and dedication to his career. He has matured considerably and grown into a responsible young man.
"To protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation, Forsyth Barnes will not be making any further comments."
