The International Olympic Committee says it has investigated a heated bus incident between Lebanese and Israeli athletes ... and "consider the matter closed."

Both sides acknowledged that Israeli athletes were blocked from boarding an Olympic bus filled with Lebanese athletes headed to the stadium on Friday for opening ceremonies.

Team Israel says they tried to board the bus per instructions from Olympic organizers but the Lebanese team physically blocked the door and refused to let them on. The Israeli team suggested it was politically motivated. The two countries are at war and have no diplomatic relations.

Team Lebanon says the bus was reserved for them and they had the right to prevent another team from getting on.

Team Israel eventually boarded another bus and got to the stadium.

We reached out to the IOC and asked if there were plans to separate the delegations moving forward.

The response -- "We spoke to both National Olympic Committees and they told us they consider the matter closed."

Snoop Dogg says he "ain't trippin'" over news that his son, Cordell Broadus, quit the UCLA football team Monday ... which is huge considering Cordell said he only played the sport in the first place for his dad's love.

Remember, when Cordell quit the team last year ... he posted a message saying, "I played football for my father because I thought that was the only way he would love me & be apart of my life."

"It took me 12 years to realize he loves Cordell Broadus the person not Cordell Broadus the football player."

Ryan Lochte's already a big winner in Rio -- because his hot Playboy Playmate girlfriend flew out to Brazil to hang with the Team USA swimmer.

Lochte's lady is Kayla Rae Reid -- a Playboy model who's been connected to Lochte for several months.

Our sources say the two have been dating since March -- but things got serious in April when he posted the first pic of the two of them together on social media. Since then, she's met his family and things seem to be going well.

Kayla is currently in Rio with Lochte -- the two were acting all coupley at the Beats House over the weekend.

Lochte is only competing in one event (the men's 200 individual medley) and that goes down on Wednesday. Other than that, the two have plenty of time for a couple's vacation.

#Jeah.

Spend it if ya got it, right??

Austin Rivers would make Tom Haverford proud -- dropping some serious cash on a sick new Ferrari ... right after signing his 3-year, $35 MILLION contract with the L.A. Clippers.

TREAT YO'SELF!!!

Check out Austin's pimped out Ferrari F12Berlinetta -- which usually starts above $300,000!!!

But Austin's car is special ... he took it to the guys at Ultimate Auto in Orlando who outfitted the whip in a full matte metallic charcoal wrap, custom wheels and more. We're told the upgrades cost around $25k.

FYI, the Ferrari F12Berlinetta reportedly goes from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds and can hit speeds faster than 211 MPH!!!!

Austin ... be safe dude.

UFC lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez seems to be issuing a warning to Conor McGregor -- careful with the WWE smack talk ... 'cause a lot of those dudes are the REAL DEAL.

Of course, McGregor said WWE superstars are nothing but a bunch of "messed up p**sies" -- which pissed a lot of 'em off.

Now, Alvarez is sort of defending the WWE -- while making it clear what they do is an "act" ... he still acknowledges that a lot of 'em are "incredible athletes" who come from a real combat sports background.

Bad news for the Bruins ... Snoop Dogg's football star son has left the the UCLA football team again ... school officials confirm to TMZ Sports.

Cordell Broadus was not with the rest of the team at the first day of training camp Monday morning -- raising some red flags. Plus, L.A. Daily News reporter Thuc Nhi Nguyen says he wasn't on the official roster.

Now, UCLA associate director of communications Steve Rourke confirms ... he's NOT on the team.

Broadus was one of the top high school WRs in the country -- and accepted a scholarship to play for the Bruins last year. But he quit the team to pursue other interests before the 2015 season.

He rejoined back in March saying he "missed the game" -- and wanted to earn his spot back as a walk-on.

But sources connected to Broadus tell us ... his head wasn't completely in it and he recently decided to leave the program ... again.

While Reggie Bush is heating things up in Buffalo ... his wife is still ON FIRE in California.

Check out Lilit Bush showing off her insane curves ... just because she feels like it.

Lilit explained, "Just sometimes I'll take a sexy picture."

No complaints here.

Tom Arnold says he's such a die-hard Iowa Hawkeyes fan ... he's actually going to be buried in one of the football team's old lockers -- which his wife recently purchased for $200.

The school liquidated a bunch of lockers from the old football team locker room to make room for the new stuff ... and Tom says his wife swooped in.

"It's a short term investment cause she can use it as my casket ... because caskets are so expensive!"

He added, "$200 ... that's a good deal!"

JoJo Fletcher got a handful of Jordan Rodgers' equipment over the weekend.

So many people are flocking to the gravesite where Muhammad Ali is buried, the cemetery has put up a temporary headstone to help guide fans to the right spot ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A woman claims she got run over by an electric cart at AT&T Stadium during a Beyonce show ... and she's pointing the finger at the S.F. Giants.

It all went down in 2014 -- Jay Z and Beyonce were headlining the "On the Run" tour ... when Sateja Parulekar says she was mowed down by a staffer zipping around the venue on an electric cart.

Parulekar says she suffered serious injuries in the crash -- and is holding the Giants and Live Nation responsible (she claims the driver was a Live Nation employee).

In her lawsuit, filed in San Fran, Parulekar says San Francisco Giants Enterprises is responsible for operating the ballpark -- even during non-baseball events -- and should've been more careful with cart safety.

THE NATURE BOY IS PISSED!!!!

Ric Flair is firing back at Conor McGregor ... blasting the UFC star after McGregor proclaimed that most WWE wrestler are "messed up p**sies."

He's smiling in public -- but there may be a lot more going on with Nick Young behind the scenes than meets the eye.

Swaggy P was leaving Penthouse in L.A. this weekend -- when we asked about the recent picture of him furniture shopping in his pajamas in the middle of the day.

"I'm going through something in life right now," Young explained.

The NBA star does have a lot going on right now -- Iggy dumped him, his ex is pregnant with his child, and there are rumors the Lakers are looking to ship him out of town.

If pajamas in the daytime make you feel better -- have at it.

Bryan Clauson -- one of the top short-track dirt-car drivers in the world -- died Sunday following injuries sustained in a bad crash from a race on Saturday ... officials confirm.

The 27-year-old was racing in the 39th Belleville Midget Nationals in Kansas when he made contact with another car and flipped several times. His car was then slammed into by another car.

Clauson was airlifted to a nearby hospital -- but died from his injuries the following day.

Clauson's family issued a statement saying, "Our Bryan fought to the end with the same desire that he demonstrated behind the wheel of all the various race cars he would park in victory lane."

"However, we were more proud of our Bryan that took a moment to make a young fan's day, or demonstrated his uncommon kindness and appreciation toward his friends, family and fans."

Clauson had made 26 starts in the NASCAR XFINITY Series.

Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ... especially when that tree is FREAKIN' GIANT ...

TMZ Sports has exclusive video of Bol Bol -- son of late NBA player Manute Bol -- hooping against some high school competition at a recent high school hoops tournament ... and it just ain't fair.

Manute was one of the tallest players in league history at 7'7" and his kid, Bol, is already 7 ft -- AT 16 -- which is why peeps we talked to at the tourney say the kid is a lock to be a future NBA lottery pick.
