The Latest on the Russian doping case (all times local to Rio de Janeiro):

11:40 a.m.

The IOC says it will "explore the legal options" for a possible total ban on the Russian team from the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The International Olympic Committee says calls for a collective ban on the Russians will be judged "versus the right to individual justice."

The IOC executive board met by teleconference on Tuesday to consider steps following the widespread doping allegations detailed in Monday's report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren.

WADA recommended that the IOC consider taking the unprecedented step of excluding the entire Russian team from the Rio Games.
