Yushchenko Poisoning Confirmed

An Austrian doctor said today that Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned with dioxin:

Dioxin poisoning caused the mysterious illness of Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko, a doctor said Saturday, adding that the poison could have been put in his soup.
Yushchcenko was in satisfactory condition and his dioxin levels have returned to normal, Dr. Michael Zimpfer, director of Vienna’s private Rudolfinerhaus clinic, said at a news conference.
“There is no doubt about the fact that Mr. Yushchenko’s disease has been caused by a case of poisoning by dioxin,” Zimpfer said.

Dr. Zimpfer said further that tests showed Yushchenko’s body had 1,000 times the normal concentration of dioxin, and the chemical was administered orally. I wonder who could have done it?
