Which doctors were right, the French doctor who said he needed treatment, or the court doctors, who said he was faking it?
I was surprised to see this in the IHT, a wholly-owned subidiary of Pinch Sulzberger. But it's basically a whitewash of the court. I guess they figured it couldn't be covered up entirely, so best to get it out and over and done with. Move on, as clintbilly said.

It was in part that examination that led prison doctors to suspect foul play, perhaps by Milosevic, Uges said. Was there some substance that would nullify the blood-pressure medicines? "We realized that the only thing that could do this was rifampicin," he said. A blood sample was found to contain the compound.
Some experts said rifampicin itself was unlikely to explain Milosevic's death, since he did not die of a stroke, a far more common problem with high blood pressure. Also, its effects on blood pressure could have been counteracted by increasing the dose of his blood-pressure medicines, said Joris Delanghe, a toxicologist at Ghent University in Belgium
