MAKE Andrew Bogut grumpy and he will crush you. The Aussie NBA star has just torn Rio and Australian team bosses a new one on Twitter over Olympic village lodgings.
Having already complained about the spartan, tiny share rooms before arriving in Brazil, Bogut took to Twitter on Tuesday for a fresh, extended spray about the athletes’ digs.
Chief on his list of gripes was the lack of a shower curtain, and also the single beds that won’t properly cater for his 213cm frame.
In the OLY village. Upon first looks its only fitting I will be posting pics with the hashtag #IOCLuxuryLodging #rio2016

At #IOCLuxuryLodging we believe a bed is not vital for sleep. Fine tuned athletes can sleep standing up. https://t.co/FcsEAf33Sm

Bogut also had a crack at Australian Olympic team delegates, who apparently are doing much better in the lodging stakes:

Bogut has been in brutal form ahead of the Olympics, already engaging in a Twitter beef with fellow Australian basketball star Liz Cambage.

Bogut also had a bit of fun with Brazilian signage on his arrival in Rio.
