Ukrainian presidential hopeful Viktor
Yushchenko was a victim of dioxin poisoning, but it remains unclear if it
was the result of a deliberate act, Austrian doctors treating him said
December 11, 2004. "There is no doubt," Dr Michael Zimpfer, president of
the Rudolfinerhaus clinic in Vienna where Yushchenko is undergoing
treatment, told a news conference."There were high concentrations of
dioxin, most likely orally administered." Viktor Yushchenko is seen as he

Saturday Dec. 11, 2004, in Vienna, Austria.
