Dutch doctor found unprescribed drug in Milosevic blood

A Dutch toxicologist today confirmed he found traces of an non-prescribed drug in a blood sample taken from former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic earlier this year.

Donald Uges said he was asked to examine the sample after Milosevic’s blood pressure failed to respond to medication given by doctors at the UN detention centre near The Hague, where he was being held during his war crimes trial.
