On 22 August 2011 Astana announced his retirement from cycling after he had struggled with a back injury.[1] The timing of this announcement caused speculation that Kireyev was forced into retirement to make way for Andrey Kashechkin and Alexander Vinokourov to compete.[2] Before Kireyev's retirement, Astana was afoul of the UCI's rules regarding the maximum number of riders employed by a team.[3]

gollark: That doesn't really make much sense to me. You would need to spend money to artificially fiddle with the price. More money than you gain from the higher gold prices probably.
gollark: Unfortunately there isn't really good microtransaction infrastructure around yet as far as I know.
gollark: Does LyricTech even have more than $2 in money?
