Crossword Genius

Despicable dope! (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

low-down

This clue is a double definition.

'despicable' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'dope' is the second definition.
(I know that dope can be written as low-down)

(Other definitions for low-down that I've seen before include "Inside information - mean (7;3-4)" , "Mean, unfair" , "Info (slang) - dishonourable" , "Inside story" , "Data - base" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
