I suspect it's in reference to the difficulties homosexuals are likely to
face when attending or competing in the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic
Games at Sochi. Adam Hills in particular has had a real go about it on his
UK show "The Last Leg" where he decided to turn Vladimir Putin into a
homosexual icon (search "last leg sochi" without the quotes).
