State without proof (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allege

'state without proof' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for allege that I've seen before include "Accuse without established proof" , "Aver (without proof)" , "Declare without being able to prove" , "Claim (a person is guilty)" , "Declare or accuse without proof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
