Stage left for example (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leg

I believe this is a double definition.

'stage' is the first definition.
(a leg is a stage of a competition)

'left for example' is the second definition.
(left leg)

(Other definitions for leg that I've seen before include "Gigot" , "Poultry portion" , "Stage (of race)" , "prop" , "part of course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
