TORONTO – How can retired Canadian freestyle skier Alex Bilodeau do any wrong? After all, he’s a double Olympic gold medalist who’s represented his country proud.

But sometimes the best in the world make mistakes too and inadvertently posting a naked picture of a Team Canada player on Twitter following a gold medal victory is one of them.

Bilodeau was celebrating Canada’s world junior championship win inside the home team’s locker room at the Air Canada Centre when he posted a photograph of himself with three other players online.

However, the photo was noticed more so for one specific player in the background — which didn’t take long for some to notice.
