 In 2012, the [[Union Cycliste Internationale]] initiated an investigation of Kolobnev and the [[Kazakhstan|Kazakh]] rider [[Alexander Vinokourov]] over allegations brought by the Swiss news magazine ''L’lllustre'' and Italian newspaper [[Corriere della Sera]].  They accused Vinokourov of cutting a deal with Kolobnev in 2010 to aid him (Vinokourov) in winning [[Liège–Bastogne–Liège]].  They alleged 150 thousand euros exchanged hands.
