Anthony Joshua, Britain's leading super-heavyweight prospect for the 2012 Olympics, has been suspended by the British Amateur Boxing Association after being charged with a drugs offence. The 21-year-old, who is the current Great Britain champion and a member of the BABA's development squad, will appear in court in London next week accused of possession of an illegal substance with intent to supply.

A spokesperson for the British Amateur Boxing Association said: "We have been made aware of an incident involving a member of the GB Boxing Development squad. As part of our Athlete Disciplinary Process we are conducting an investigation into this matter and, given the nature of the charge, have suspended the person involved pending the outcome of that process."

Joshua is considered a good if untested prospect by the BABA performance director, Rob McCracken. Other contenders at the weight include Frazer Clarke of Burton and the former podium squad member Amin Isa.
