Tot 2018 was de Classic Brugge-de Panne onderdeel van Driedaagse De Panne. Eric Vanderaerde won deze koers 5 maal
1999 was een memorabele editie van de Driedaagse De Panne. Net na de start van de 3e etappe werd de koers geblokkeerd door de Belgische politie en werden de Mapei renners 'gearresteerd'. Dit was naar aanleiding van het feit dat er een pakketje ( een VHS band doosje met ampullen) onderschept was op het vliegveld. Dit pakketje was verstuurd vanuit het Mapei hotel naar het hoofdkwartier van Mapei in Italie. Lefevre wist, uiteraard, van niks. De andere renners van het peloton waren solidair met de andere dopingzondaars en besloten de ochtend etappe niet te rijden.

Mapei-Quick Step Scandal - Breaking News
The local police authorities in Kortrijk (Belgium) have arrested the Mapei-Quick Step manager Patrick Lefèvre and six riders for questioning after security police opened a DHL package at Brussels airport. This package contained a video cassette box with 5 ampules of an unknown substance which came from Italy and was to be sent to the Mapei hotel in De Panne.
At first, the organisers of the "Driedaagse van De Panne" decided to neutralise Stage 3 but it has been now been stopped. All the other riders decided not to take the start in this stage as an act of solidarity. This afternoon's time trial is expected to take place.
In Belgium, everyone was thinking it was an April Fool's Day joke being played by VRT-TV Teletext, but now, hours later, it was also in the news in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and France.
The Mapei riders have been asked to undergo bloodtests. The Rabobank team manager Theo van Rooy reports that Stage 3 started as normal, but after 3 kilometers police cars stopped the race. The race leader Tom Steels will now be the likely winner.
Belgian radio is reporting that this morning at 8:57 (just 3 minutes before the start of part 1 of Stage 3) the police arrived and stopped the race. They came to pick up Patrick Lefevre and his complete Mapei team. They went to the parket (counsel for the prosecution) in Kortrijk. The other teammanagers decided not to start so the first part was neutralized.
Lefevre said: "It's a blown up-case".
The radio reporter said: "The ampules were found on Tuesday and they investigated them at the moment. It is strange to see the police come into action just before the last day of the Driedaagse van de Panne. It seems that they are doing the same thing as the French police in the Tour de France last year."
RVV now threatened
Kortrijk state prosecutor Louis Deneckere said: "We are now involved in investigating the obvious things. Is Mapei involved with the package? What is in the ampules?" He also indicated that the incident now will place the Ronde van Vlaanderen in jeopardy. There is a sense of crisis in Belgium this morning.
It is now being reported that Patrick Lefevere was questioned by prosecutors in Kortrijk and the team accompanied him in a show of support. Johan Museeuw and Michele Bartoli went to the police station in Kortrijk.
Drug Raid the result of leaked information
It is now being reported that the The ampules were sent from the hotel (of the Mapei-team) in Belgium to Italy. They were disovered at Zaventem Airport in Brussels.
The news is now that police action came just after the start because the news of the raid and the discovery was leaked in the Belgian newspaper, Het Laatste Nieuws. If the newspaper had not have leaked the discovery the police were going to raid the race at the finish.
Amphetamines found
The five ampules have been examined now and they were full of amphetamines. The Kortrijk prosecuter Louis Deneckere is now holding a press conference to explain what will happen next. The drugs were found in a package being send via the international couriers DHL and were destined for Mapei team HQ in Italy having been dispatched from their team hotel in De Panne.
Lefevere denies any knowledge
Mapei team boss Patrick Lefevre (interviewed in front of his hotel) said: "I don't anything about this affair. For years we are working to be clean and now a newspaper brings this. If this story is true, it will be the end of our Mapei team."
He was referring to a newspaper article this morning in Belgium which alleges that the drugs were being used by the team during De Panne and the excess were being mailed back to Italy in an empty video cassette case.
Lefévre is now telling Belgian TV (13.15 Belgian time) that this is some sort of strange joke.
The Prosecutor is saying that: "We have respect for the riders and it isn't our fault that we had to make arrests during the race. We had planned our action after the final finish this afternoon but the leaks forced our action." Despite earlier reports he is not saying exactly to whom the packages were addressed to in Italy.
The Mapei riders were told by more than 20 police officers who raided the hotel this morning that they had to come to the station. They were told to stop racing and they rode to the hotel. The police said: "Will you follow us?"
Ballerini, Vandenbroucke and Tchmil were the instigators of the solidarity move in the peloton and were instrumental in getting the other riders to stop.
Peter Van Petegem has just told Belgian TV: "It's a shame, why an action during a race? why not tomorrow?"
Frank Vandenbroucke: "Why not tonight?"
Lefevere and riders detained for 24 hours
The prosecuter has just said that he wants to have the Mapei team avaiable to him for at least 24 hours. He is refusing to say whether the team can start in the Ronde Van Vlaanderen.
A rumour being relayed by Walter Godefroot is that the package was sent by an assistant of the Mapei team rather than a rider or Lefevere.
Tiziano Morassut was de Italiaanse soigneur die het pakketje verstuurd had aan Bugno sr. in Italie. Hij werd 10 dagen vastgehouden in België. Uiteindelijk werden alleen de 3 Italiaanse hoofdrolspelers en de dealer veroordeelt.

Bugno, his father, Morassut and Vanhulst each received a suspended sentence and a fine for their part in the shipping of a package of amphetamines. The authorities accepted that this was an isolated case not involving the rest of the Mapei-QuickStep team.

In 2018 zou de Driedaagse De Pannen uit 2 dagen bestaan. Alleen de 1e race, een sprintrace, werd gecanceld omdat de teams hier geen interesse in hadden. Wat bleef was een 1daagse koers gewonnen in de sprint door Viviani. voor Ackerman en Philipsen, die toen voor Hagens Berman Axeon. Sindsdien is deze koers eendaags
