Visa problem takes gloss of games for Suxho

The United States have started the defence of their gold medal with two successive wins, but setter Donald Suxho has been unable to settle properly owing to the absence of his wife.

Also a professional volleyball player, Eleni Suxho is currently in Kiev, held up by red tape after her first attempt to gain a visa to enter Great Britain was turned down over concerns she would attempt to remain in the country permanently.
