Canadian bobsledder Justin Kripps’ website has been blocked in Russia, after he posted a picture of his bobsled team in their pants.

Russia blocked an Olympian’s website for ‘gay propaganda’ after seeing this picture

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.
