Clue Chain

[miser]

Many years ago on another forum I started a game I called CLUE CHAIN. The idea is that the setter poses an original home made clue which everybody is invited to solve. The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue. If anybody is interested in playing my clue is

Bear opening church? (7)

I'm still trying to parse champion. It would be useful if setters gave the breakdown when confirming a correct answer, as I have been doing on the last few clues of mine.

Just a suggestion.

C (cocaine)  E (ecstacy) H (heroin) are the most accepted abbreviations for 'drug'

Definition 'peerless'  so C H AMPION

Thank you for the parsing miser.

I know nothing at all about the drug scene so I was at a severe disadvantage.
