基本資料
2009年5月6日阿斯塔納車隊承認,它們未能及時支付其車手的工資,因為哈薩克斯坦的金融危機,但車隊發言人說,這只是一種拖延,車隊沒有所謂的財政問題,而且車隊在2009年環義大利腳踏車賽的比賽將按計畫進行。5月7日阿姆斯特朗,他是免費做為車隊的成員,他表示同情雇員等待他們的工資在義大利腳踏車比賽前。他還指出,如果財政問題得不到解決,車隊的授權應交給Bruyneel ,他認為這是“最合理的解決。”
阿斯塔納車隊的構成十分複雜。雖然哈薩克斯坦隊有國際腳踏車聯盟授權的許可證,並支付薪金,但主要是靠Bruyneel的總部位於盧森堡的奧林巴斯有限責任公司的贊助,車隊才可能正常的運作只有一個許可證轉讓。 國際腳踏車聯盟主席帕特麥奎德計畫訪問阿斯塔納車隊並討論車隊的未來。據阿姆斯特朗說: “我沒有任何具體的答案,但我懷疑我們能找到一些資金,支持我們從6月到今年年底。”5月11日,國際腳踏車聯盟規定解決阿斯塔納車隊財務狀況的最後期限為5月31日,義大利腳踏車賽的前一天。如果車隊沒有履行其財政義務在該日期之前,將暫停由國際腳踏車聯盟。 Bruyneel指出,至少車隊將能夠完成義大利腳踏車賽根據其現有的財政情況。
在義大利腳踏車賽的第七賽段, 8名阿斯塔納車隊車手,包括阿姆斯特朗,穿著的是非贊助商的運動衫,抗議車隊拖欠工資,並在餘下比賽中繼續穿著該運動衫。 根據Bruyneel說,贊助商並沒有退出贊助,車隊將繼續“在比賽中穿著這樣的衣服,抗議到底”而車手只收到2個月的薪金在2009年。 5月19日, Bruyneel宣布,贊助商已經支付了部分過期的工資但主要部分,至今沒有著落。 6月3日在阿斯塔納車隊提供了財政擔保,以支持選手們能在2009年環法腳踏車賽中競爭,並於月底宣布,他們金融問題得到解決和資金安全的,至少在本賽季結束。
