Supposed phone transcript b/n Coughlan & Stepney

This is interesting, esp. if it's at all true. Taken from PlanetF1.com:

Ferrari Leak Phone Conversations To Press
Ferrari have revealed that they have recovered detailed transcripts of phone conversations between Mike Coughlan and Nigel Stepney prior to the Monaco Grand Prix that prove Stepney was sabotaging the car.
Stepney:
"I am going to put some white powder in the fuel tank. That will stop their prancing horse right in its tracks.
Coughlan:
"Good, white powder in the fuel tank will certainly stop them from winning the Monaco Grand Prix - never mind their unsuitably long wheelbased car."
Stepney:
"You don't think that scrutineers might sample the fuel before the race - you know - like they always do."
Coughlan:
"Hmm, good point. Perhaps they won't this race. Go on do it. I'll give you £5.
Stepney:
"Make it a tenner."
Coughlan:
"I'll have to ask Ron for a tenner.
Stepney:
"Sorry got to go and grab a shower now."
Coughlan:
"Don't leave that white powder lying around, make sure you put it in your pockets while you're having that shower.
Ferrari will present their transcripts to the WMC in Paris on Thursday.
"This just goes to prove that Ron Dennis is a mass murderer and abuses chickens," said Ferrari spokesman (and George from Seinfeld lookalike) Luca Colajanni.

Why would they call it "white powder?" Don't you think they'd call it by name? I call on Ferrari's information here.

Sounds extremely fishy. Especially the part where Coughlan says to put the white powder in the pant pockets!

Hope that was supposed to be red text.

Planet-F1 tends to make stuff up pretty regularly to highlight the ridiculous side of F1 in this part of their website, "Not the F1 news", or the articles titled "Off on F1".

Pretty funny, though.

^^^ on the PlanetF1 comment. I don't believe it for a second but thought it was interesting. OTOH, a journalist admitted the revelation about Fernando's supposed emails to/from de La Rosa were all fiction and concocted by him.
