Bad thing to be caught on (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tape

(Other definitions for tape that I've seen before include "Adhesive --; red --" , "Record - broken by the winner" , "Magnetic recording medium; measuring strip" , "that race winner may break" , "The finish line" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
