He won one gold, two silver and three bronze medals at five Olympic Games from 1988 to 2004.[6][7] Kolobkov served as Russia's representative to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) until 2015 when WADA declared the Russian Anti-Doping Agency to be non-compliant, and he was barred from serving as a representative to WADA. He served as the Russian Minister of Sport from 2016 to 2020, when he was dismissed from the position by President Putin. He also previously served as the Russian Deputy Minister of Sport as well as the Russian Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy.
Biography
[edit]Early years
[edit]Kolobkov was born in Moscow.[5] In his career he won 27 individual and team medals between Olympic Games, World and European Championships.[8] He was appointed as a Russian Deputy Minister of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy on 8 October 2010 by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.[9] He was appointed as the head of the Russian 2012 London Summer Olympics delegation on 9 August 2011.[10] On 18 June 2012, he was appointed as the Russian Deputy Minister of Sports.[5] He was appointed as a Class 3 State Advisor of the Russian Federation on 7 October 2013.[11]
World Anti-Doping Agency representative
[edit]Kolobkov also served as Russia's representative to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). He unsuccessfully denied WADA's finding that Russia was falsifying laboratory doping data, and was criticized by Russia's top athletes for endangering their careers.[12][13] After Russia was accused of doping, Kolobkov provided WADA with fresh data, but it only revealed further manipulation.[14]
His last meeting with the organization was on 18 November 2015, when WADA declared the Russian Anti-Doping Agency to be non-compliant. As a result, he lost his position as a representative to WADA in January 2016, and was barred from serving on the organization's Foundation Board.[15][16]
WADA also ended up barring Russia from the Olympics and other international competition for four years for its doping.[14] Jonathan Taylor, a British lawyer who wrote the report proposing the sanctions, which were approved unanimously by the WADA’s board, said of Kolbokov: "“I don’t know if he is corrupt or incompetent.”[14]
Russian Minister of Sport
[edit]He was appointed as a Class 2 State Advisor of the Russian Federation on 11 August 2016.[17] On 19 October, he was appointed as the Russian Minister of Sport.[18]
On 15 January 2020, he lost his job, as he was dismissed and replaced as Russian Sports Minister by President Putin.[19][20][21][22]
Gazprom Neft official
[edit]In March 2020, Kolobkov was appointed as a board member and the deputy chief executive officer for Federal Government Relations by Gazprom Neft.[23]
