Additional qualification for sportsperson (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rider

This clue is a double definition.

'additional qualification' is the first definition.
(qualification or condition in a contract)

'sportsperson' is the second definition.
(eg horse rider)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rider that I've seen before include "Clause added to a legal document" , "One in the saddle" , "Clause appended to a legislative bill" , "Person on horse" , "Horseman or add-on verdict by jury" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
