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.
