Astana - about to bite the bullet ?

Must say this is getting
confusing...http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/no-p...yet-for-astana

""Wednesday Astana will try [to pay] again. However, I had advised
them not to do so, because lawyers have rightly noted that the UCI
cannot demand that extra guarantee."

Wagtmans explained that if the UCI does revoke Astana's ProTour
licence,"

er...why would they revoke the licence if they get the payment ? Of
for that matter, why would they revoke the licence if they're not
entitled to ask for it?

Wagtmans sounds pretty stupid. Maybe he was misquoted and is only a

it would be a very convient way to keep lance out; they are saving it
