Biography
Chet Clancy was a young man who lived in Los Angeles, California in the early 1980s. An athletic man in peak physical condition, he was training to enter the 1984 Summer Olympics, but was disqualified when he tested positive for 0.001% of an illegal substance. Seeing his dreams of being an Olympian disappear caused Chet great anger and depression.

Chet worked out at a Slimmercise aerobics class taught by his friend, Xavier Plympton. While there, Chet befriended Ray Powell and Montana Duke. Chet took note of a new member of the class named Brooke Thompson, and gave her an eyeful while performing a suggestive exercise routine.

Xavier invited everyone to come join him on a summer job excursion as camp counselors at Camp Redwood. With his dreams of going to the Olympics dashed, Chet no longer felt any restriction about what he put into his body, so he agreed to go and did some cocaine on the driver over to the campground. Along the way, Xavier hit a hiker on the road. They helped him up and brought him to the campground for treatment.
