Sportsman who's paid by Britain embroiled in drug shame (10)
I believe the answer is:
opprobrium
'shame' is the definition.
(I know that opprobrium is a type of shame)
'sportsman who's paid by britain embroiled in drug' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'paid' could be 'pro' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'pro' is found within the answer.
'britain' could be 'br' (abbreviation) and 'br' is found in the answer.
'drug' could be 'opium' (opium is a kind of drug) and 'opium' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opprobrium that I've seen before include "scandal, perhaps" , "State, cause, of disgrace" , "Obloquy" , "Censure" .)
