Drug smuggler gets cross (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mule

I believe this is a double definition.

'drug smuggler' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cross' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mule that I've seen before include "Hybrid beast" , "Crossbreed" , "Backless slipper" , "Drug smuggler" , "Drug courier; animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
