Olympic boxer Damien Hooper has been charged with exposing himself to police and spitting on an officer at a Queensland nightclub.
The incident happened about 2am on Sunday in Dalby, west of Brisbane. Hooper, 20, of Toowoomba, has been charged with wilful exposure, obstructing police, and serious assault of a police officer.
He will face the Dalby Magistrates Court on February 19. Hooper, pictured, got into hot water with Olympic officials in London last year, when he strode to the ring wearing a T-shirt with the Aboriginal flag on it.
His action contravened the International Olympic Committee's charter, which prevents political statements at the Games. Hooper was forced to apologise to team boss Nick Green.
