Athletes at the Rio 2016 will be cooped up in the athletes
village where they will share rooms with other athletes, unless of
course you're millionaire NBA basketballer. Members of Team USA's basketball contingent to Brazil have
rented a luxury cruise ship and it comes complete with 7ft comfy beds.
The ship named Silver Cloud is moored in the Port of Rio
and a bulletproof glass fence has been erected in the area to keep out
intruders while 250 federal police officers are on alert keeping a
watchful eye.
'Nobody can get near the boat without invitation' said one security official.
The special treatment doesn't stop there, the players will
have their own chefs, concierge services on hand and a fleet of cars to
ferry them under armed guard around Rio and to training courts.
