Olympics: Saunders Suspended Over 'lewd Behaviour' Allegations

British boxer Billy Joe Saunders has been suspended following allegations of lewd behavior
British Olympic boxer Billy Joe Saunders has been suspended following reports of lewd behaviour in a hotel. The 18-year-old welterweight, who was knocked out of the competition in Beijing last week, learned on his return home that he had been banned by the Amateur Boxing Association pending a full investigation into his conduct.

Saunders will be summoned to a disciplinary meeting over the allegations about his behavior towards a French woman in a hotel in which the Great Britain team were staying.
