Sanctioned (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

official

approved

'sanctioned' is the definition.
(I know that sanctioned can be written as approved)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for approved that I've seen before include "Officially sanctioned" , "Sanctioned, authorised" , "Accepted as satisfactory" , "Sanctioned, authorized" , "confirmed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
