Technically urine is sterile. Surgeons will even let it leak into the body during kidney transplants. However a shower drain could easily start to stink if it wasn't treated with strong cleaners regularly.
^ Eh, I don't think that's much of a problem as long as you pee at the beginning of the shower and then all that soap and water goes down the drain after it. Seems quite sensible really, I'll have to pee in the shower more often :P
