I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'just the sportsman' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'to study a bit of form?' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'read' (synonyms).
'a bit of form?' becomes 'or' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to'+'read'+'or'='TOREADOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toreador that I've seen before include "One who fights bulls" , "Too drear for a bullfighter" , "Bullfighter in Carmen" , "A bullfighter, especially on horseback" , "Killer facing charges" .)
