    U.S. sprinter Noah Lyles received a gift from one of the most famous men on the planet in 2024, Snoop Dogg. The American rapper has made his mark on the 2024 Olympics, kicking off the international games as the torch bearer and then making a few appearances at some of the top events.

    Dogg was seen with Lyles' mom at a recent track and field event, supporting the 27-year-old in his chase for gold.

    He's been the ultimate cheerleader for the United States, and he's even taken the time to pass out gifts to star Olympians from the United States.

    Lyles mentioned on social media that he received a gift from Dogg: a gold chain bearing Dogg's "Death Row Records" brand.

    As Lyles accepted the gift from Dogg, he posted a picture of him posing with the chain on Instagram, with a note that said, "Thanks, Snoop Dogg."

    The United States star will likely walk away from the Olympic Games after he recently tested positive for COVID-19.

    Lyles ran with the respiratory disease on Thursday, taking home the bronze medal despite dealing with fatigue.

    He'll leave Paris as a two-time medalist, with a gold medal in the 100-meter final and a bronze medal in the 200-meter final. Lyles clocked in at 9.784 seconds in the 100-meter and 19.70 in his 200-meter finish.

    Noah Lyles will also have another piece of new jewelry wrapped around his neck, Snoop Dogg's "Death Row Records" chain.

    The IOC should have stepped in and had him removed from the race in the 200. Hopefully no one gets covid from Noah’s selfish behavior
