Yuschenko: Postpone poisoning investigation

Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko has called for a serious investigation to determine how he was poisoned by dioxin, but urged it be conducted after the December 26 presidential runoff election to avoid influencing the results.

Doctors at Vienna’s Rudolfiner clinic said tests run over the weekend proved beyond a doubt that it was dioxin poisoning that caused a mystery illness in September that left Yushchenko disfigured and in pain.
