Andrew Bogut’s Twitter dig at Kitty Chiller and IOC
IT’S 10 days since the end of the Rio Olympics and Andrew Bogut has taken to Twitter to sledge the IOC and his team boss Kitty Chiller — again.
IT’S 10 days since the end of the Rio Olympics and Andrew Bogut has had another dig at the controversial Australian Olympic team chief Kitty Chiller, as well as the International Olympic Committee.
The Boomers star, who drove a hashtag #IOCLuxuryLodgings during the Games after issues with the size of his bed and state of amenities, took to Twitter for a few last thoughts on his Olympics experience.
During the Games, Bogut got into a Twitter stoush with Opals player Liz Cambage and engaged in a funny press conference exchange with Chiller, where he expressed surprise that she wasn’t staying at a posh hotel, and asked if her toilet worked. His facilities obviously had issues, as the Boomers were living two to a cramped room in the athletes village.

On Thursday, as Chiller was in the news again over the accreditation scandal where nine athletes were arrested after AOC volunteers helped them get into watch Bogut and the Boomers play a semi-final against Serbia, Bogut Tweeted a reference to the chef de mission.
Upon arriving at the OLY village in Rio, I was pumped the AOC thoughtfully gave athletes access to bikes. But then.. pic.twitter.com/sXe0iNJZEF

Australian team walker Chris Erikson chimed in.
@andrewbogut Mate the code on the lock was 3008, I sneakily "borrowed" on a few occasions (just don't tell anyway)

Bogut, who had a base salary of $US11muillion a year at Golden State before his move to Dallas, was obviously affected by what he saw in Rio, and also had a serve for the IOC’s claims of their wealth distribution.

It was suggested that Bogut had perhaps emerged from an embargo on negative Olympic Tweets.
.@andrewbogut's gag order on anti-Rio tweets has obviously ended... #RioProblems
