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]
