His illness kept him out of the early stages of the campaign and left his face bloated and pocked. ‘There is no doubt,’ Dr Michael Zimpfer, president of the Rudolfinerhaus clinic where Yushchenko is undergoing treatment, told a news conference in the Austrian capital.’ There were high concentrations of dioxin, most likely orally administered.’ He said the dioxin poisoning had been confirmed on Saturday by a laboratory in Amsterdam, which had analyzed a blood sample.” (Reuters)
