Pic: Synchronised sh*tting; some of the jacks in Sochi are a little bit different

If you are heading to the Biathlon Centre at the upcoming Winter Olympics you better not be shy.

If you are heading to the Biathlon Centre at the upcoming Winter Olympics you better not be shy.

Costing a ridiculous €37.5 billion, the upcoming Winter Olympics from Sochi in Russia will easily be the most expensive in history. For example, the two-week event will cost three times as much as the London Summer Olympics of 2012.

Dogged with allegations of corruption, and the continued fear over how gay visitors will be treated next month, the Games are already controversial a full two weeks before it all kicks off.

Last night a much more light-hearted story appeared, though when you consider how much has been spent, you wonder how something like this can happen.

BBC reporter Steve Rosenberg was checking out the facilities at the Biathlon Centre and he happened upon this rather unusual bathroom set up.

Rosenberg has confirmed this morning the pic isn’t photoshopped so if you happen to be headed to Russia for a bit of Biathlon action, make sure you leave your inhibitions at home.
