Sly chap I suspect gets examination (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

physical

'examination' is the definition.
(kind of examination)

'sly chap i suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' is an anagram indicator (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'sly'+'chap'+'i'='slychapi'
'slychapi' with letters rearranged gives 'PHYSICAL'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for physical that I've seen before include "Bodily - material" , "Medical fitness examination" , "Achy lips (anag)" , "Involving bodily contact" , "Check-up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
