The sin of a substitute? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vice

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the sin' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a substitute?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for vice that I've seen before include "Sin; weakness" , "person to stand in for skipper" , "may have a powerful grip" , "something antisocial" , "Gripper - in place of - immorality" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
