So, Lancey-poo WAS paid by Astana in 2009...

http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/7078/UCI-states-that-Armstrong-was-paid-by-Astana-in-2009.aspx

When Armstrong announced his comeback, he told Vanity Fair that he wouldn’t take a salary from Astana. “Everybody in cycling has a team and takes a team salary,” he said in a large feature published in September 2008. “I am essentially racing for free. No salary. No bonus. Nothing on the line.… This one’s on the house. And you know what? At the end of the day, I don’t need money.… Not only will I be fine, my kids will be fine, my grandkids will be fine.” This was repeated to other publications in other interviews.

The UCI requirement that he accept a salary was presumably made at some point between then and the start of the season.

In May of that year, five months into the season, Armstrong gave an interview to a small number of media sources including Cycling Weekly. At the time there was great uncertainty about the future of the Astana team as salaries had been unpaid. There was talk that Armstrong and general manager Johan Bruyneel could take over the team, aided by new sponsors.

Armstrong was asked if he would consider covering the wages, but he said that he was racing for free and therefore already putting something into the team. “I'm already investing myself. Not taking a salary is some sort of investment,” he said.

Bruyneel echoed this in his personal blog. “Even if Lance himself does not have to deal with the payment troubles since he rides without a salary, he suffers seeing his team-mates not being paid,” he said at the time.

Lance gave $50,000 to the Queensland flood relief appeal. It must of dropped out of his wallet when he was trying to stuff the rest of the $3m into it.

Funnily enough he has to announce that he is making a donation on twitter.

Parking and reversing maneuvering are important skills.Seattle Asian Escorts Besides the highly annoying damages of failed backing maneuvers and the total financial losses,Seattle Asian Escort there is a connection between such light collisions and the harder collisionsSeattle Escort -- avoiding scrubbing other cars in the parking space helps avoiding more severe crashes on theSeattle Escorts road!

The ways inSeattle Asian Escorts which proper parkingSeattle Asian Escort maneuvers can be done have been stressed here nicely,Seattle Escorts and I will Seattle Escortonly add a few important notes. First, it's possible to practice with cones or some other kind of simulation. In advanced driving courses we found this method highly useful. Another important note is to use your mirrors!
