Russia blocked an Olympian’s website for ‘gay propaganda’ after seeing this picture
Canadian bobsledder Justin Kripps’ website has been blocked in Russia, after he posted a picture of his bobsled team in their pants.
The picture shows Kripps, James McNaughton, Tim Randall, and Bryan Barnet checking their weight before a race last week.
Attempting to access his website in the country delivers an error screen, that says: “Dear users: We are very sorry, but access to the requested content is forbidden.
“Access is forbidden because of a law or decision by the lawmakers of the Russian federation.”
After discovering he couldn’t get to his website, the bearded bobsledder tweeted: “Looks like my website is censored in Russia, haha classic #SochiProblems”

He had also tweeted a pro-gay Olympic luging advert from the Canadian Institute of Diversity and Inclusion.
