Confiscated by solicitor, contaminated doses thrown away (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
tossed out
'thrown away' is the definition.
('toss out' can be a synonym of 'throw away')
'confiscated by solicitor contaminated doses' is the wordplay.
'confiscated by' indicates putting letters inside.
'solicitor' becomes 'tout' (someone who solicits business).
'contaminated' indicates anagramming the letters (a corrupted spelling).
'doses' with letters rearranged gives 'ossed'.
'tout' going around 'ossed' is 'TOSSED OUT'.
