In breaking news, Russia have announced that none other than Vladimir Putin himself will be taking part in most of the events scheduled for Sochi 2014. Unfortunately this will exclude bear-back-riding, always a favourite with the president, but thankfully we’ll be spared the sight of Vlad-The-Lad taking part in the more namby pamby sports such as curling and ice dancing; even he’s not as big a hypocrite to take part in sports effectively out-lawed by his anti gay and lesbian laws.

No, instead he will be showcasing Russian testosterone at its finest to the world, once again proving Russia’s all time dominance over the universe. Or alternatively, here’s some pictures of a bald guy ‘doing’ sport. Enjoy.
