Ah, beetle juice. The drink of champions. They should really just let them all use whatever they
want. So much simpler and great racing comes of it.

Thanks, Ronde Chimp

cyclingnews.com is reporting similar news in their coverage of GP Rik:

The Lion of Flanders was less than a week ago was taken in for questioning by police over a possible
doping affair. The latest news is that he allegedly spoke to veterinarian Jose Landuyts in code
during telephone conversations, that were tapped by police. "That I know nothing of," responded
Museeuw shortly. "I have raced for six hours and that's enough."

I read that on Flemish teletext, yes. No doubt Bart and Jeff read it in the newspapers too.

the investigators figure 'wasp' rhymes with Aranesp (in Dutch). 'a wasp in the inner tire' would
mean by baxter. Unclear whether Landuyt has confessed any codes. The riders stick to saying its all
about non prohibited products.

Now that you've explained "wasp," can you explain "baxter?"

Baxter is not a code name. It means getting a med by IV line, diluted in Ringer's solution
(Dextrose, i.e.).

I think Chung knew, and he wanted to know how "wasp in inner tire" means "aranesp in baxter". In
(southern) Dutch, one would say "wesp in 'ne tuub" where 'tuub' is one pronounciation of 'tube',
which is the same as in English, so it could also mean the tube of the IV line. Alternatively, one
could say "wesp in de binnenband" or "wesp in m'n bandje" or something like that, where 'band' just
half-way sounds like baxter.

the word was 'binnenband'.

it sounds hilarious, when using codes, why so childishly and overtly metaphorically ?

Ah yes. The days when men like Tom Simpson self-medicated were so much better.

I've always like Johan Museeuw. Tactically, he is so good - that appeals to me, a rider who can
maximize their physical potential with intelligent, intuitive decisions in the heat of a race.

In one day racing, Museeuw is the tactical Master of this generation.

Now this. I don't like hearing about him being a Dumbass on the phone. It's only 1 or 2 steps better
than Vandenbroucke's Poodle.

excuse. I can handle you taking performance enhancing drugs, that's part of the game. I don't like
you being a Dumbass. This and your goddamm Harley accident. That was stupid too.

Now don't go picking on poor Tom. He was just a bit too obsessive in his need to win the Tour. Now
if you'll excuse me, I think I'll sniff some ether and go do some climbing intervals.

Any idea of what "sliced bread" and "beatle" stand for?

It's quite apparent that he is a Volkswagen enthusiast:

A Beetle: obvious

A Sliced Loaf: "Loaf" is slang for the 1968-79 VW vans, also known as "Bay-Windows." "Sliced"
probably refers to either the Westfalia camper version with pop-up roof or the single-cab or
double-cab pick-up version.

Two Wasps: Obviously a reference to the high-performance Stinger exhaust.

So, all he wanted was a VW Beetle, a VW van, and a Stinger exhaust for each. What's the big deal?

Have you contacted the investigating judge and the prosecutor yet? With this explanation, Johan
will be clear to ride the Worlds.

Thanks for the laugh!

Well, 'Beatle' would be one of John, Paul, George or Ringo, as 'beetle' is an insect like a wasp.
Now the Beatles could have been WASPs, and the meaning could have a tie-in with the Abbey Road cover
or maybe Rubber Soul. Have you considered listening to their music backward in a Volkswagen for
further clues?

Sorry for the rye humor.
