European champion Natasha Gale has been ruled out of defending her title next month after being suspended from the GB Boxing squad over a "conduct issue" with coaches and staff during last month's Commonwealth Games.
In a statement, GB Boxing said: "Natasha Gale has not been selected for the 2018 EUBC European Women's Boxing Championships as she is currently suspended from the world-class performance programme following a disciplinary process into her conduct as a member of the GB Boxing squad."
No specific time-frame has been given for the sanction, although GB Boxing performance director Rob McCracken indicated that he expects Gale to return to the programme.
McCracken told Press Association Sport: "Natasha is not going to the European Championships and we will be sorting out what happens moving forward. She is currently suspended from the programme and has time to reflect."
Press Association Sport understands the disciplinary process arises from a general attitudinal issue, rather than a single specific incident during the Games.
