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.
"Andrew Bogut ✔ @andrewbogut
In the OLY village. Upon first looks its only fitting I will be posting pics with the hashtag #IOCLuxuryLodging #rio2016

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

Bogut has been in brutal form ahead of the Olympics, already engaging in a Twitter beef with fellow Australian basketball star Liz Cambage.
"Elizabeth Cambage ✔ @ecambage
@andrewbogut @BriggsGE @litenmoloney better late than never :)"
"Andrew Bogut ✔ @andrewbogut
.@ecambage would not have guessed better late than never is your mantra! 🤔Know of any music festivals i can skip training for in Rio?

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