  1. From cyclingnews.com:
    "
    Oleg Tinkov, the manager and owner of the successful Italian-Russian
    Tinkoff Credit Systems team was present at the UCI meeting in Paris. He
    asked a question in the middle of the press conference. "We don't
    understand how to become a ProTour team," he said. "It's not like in
    football with teams finishing first in one league. When will we see clear
    set of rules? Is it about corruption?"

    Pat McQuaid smiled when he heard the word "corruption" and stated, "There
    is a clear definition for entering the ProTour. We met in Moscow at the
    track world cup and spoke about it. I repeat the invitation: come and
    visit in our office in Aigle, Switzerland, we'll have some nice wine and
    we'll speak about it."
    "

    Perhaps having a glass of wine is code for 'gimme some roubles and I'll
    fix it for you'. Perhaps the LIVEDRUNKARDS can tell us what wine goes best
    with corruption.

    McQuaid doesn't drink wine. He just wants to get Tinkov drunk so he can
    suck his blood.
