The article from the BBC you posted says they will be doing tests, but the doctors did NOT say he was poisoned.

"Ukraine's opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko has gone into hospital in Austria for tests into the mystery illness that disfigured his face.

Doctors will spend the weekend examining him to assess whether his illness was caused by poisoning. "

VIENNA, Austria -- The disfiguring illness afflicting Ukraine opposition presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko was caused by dioxin poisoning, a doctor at an Austrian hospital has said.

Blood and skin tests conducted over the past 24 hours in Austria and other European clinics provided the evidence, Rudolphinerhaus clinic director Dr. Michael Zimpfer told a news conference Saturday.

"There is no doubt about the fact that Mr. Yushchenko's disease has been caused by a case of poisoning by dioxin," Zimpfer said. (excerpt)

The BBC article in the thread is a day or so old also.

Read post 24, I think it is. It is Dr Zimpfer who has finally come out with the solid, definitive statement.
