Fraudulent schemes in a game (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rackets

This clue is a double definition.

'fraudulent schemes' is the first definition.
('racket' can be a synonym of 'fraudulent scheme')

'game' is the second definition.
(rackets is a racket sport)

'in a' is the link.

(Other definitions for rackets that I've seen before include "illegal activities" , "Criminal activities" , "may be covered in the press" , "Stringed bats or loud sessions" , "Game - noises" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
