It is known that Snoop Dogg’s badge is not authorized by the IOC (International Olympic Committee), because it is only a souvenir of a private person. Therefore, it is impossible to buy, because it is not an official product. Unless you meet Snoop Dogg by chance in the stadiums. Your luck is still there, because the Olympics are far from over (until August 11), according to AS .
