Volleyball officials are among those who don't want to see all Russians kicked out of the Olympics.

International Volleyball Federation president Ary Graca says there are no "major issues" with Russian national teams scheduled to compete in Rio de Janeiro next month. He noted that in volleyball, much of the testing is done outside of Russia, where labs have been implicated in the scandal.

The comments highlight a growing divide in Olympic sports among those who say a ban is the right punishment to maintain integrity and those who claim it would hurt athletes who did not cheat.
