ワシントンポストの報道を引いたものです。ユーシェンコが昨年末に再び手当てをしたオーストリアの病院では、地元の医者だけではなくてアメリカ人が診察をし、毒の検出などはワシントンへ送られたユーシェンコの髪等を調べたと言うことです。

We treated poisoned Yushchenko, admit Americans
By Andrew Osborn in Moscow
12 March 2005
Compelling evidence of America's behind-the-scenes role in Ukraine's orange revolution has come to light after a team of US doctors admitted it secretly treated the country's new pro-Western President Viktor Yushchenko for poisoning during his election campaign.
Washington has been cagey about disclosing the extent of its involvement in last December's change of power in Ukraine for fear of offending Russia, which was itself accused of meddling.
Moscow had backed Mr Yushchenko's rival, the pro-Russian candidate Viktor Yanukovych and, since his defeat, has struggled to come to terms with its sudden loss of influence in a country it traditionally regarded as a close ally.
Russian politicians insist Washington orchestrated the "coup" in order to take Ukraine out of Russia's orbit and propel it towards Nato and the EU. In turn, it is frequently inferred in Ukraine that the poison Mr Yushchenko ingested by eating a bowl of soup originated in Russia and was administered by pro-Russian forces, if not by Russia's secret service.
The poison, a heavy dose of dioxin, turned the previously photogenic Mr Yushchenko's face into a rash of suppurating lesions and unsightly blotches and seriously undermined his health. His aides believe it was intended to kill him.
But Ukraine's new government says it knows precisely who poisoned the President. However, it says the investigation is not finished and no "guilty" individual or state has yet been named.
America has denied helping Mr Yushchenko, whose wife Kateryna is American. It is, however, an open secret that Washington funded pro-democracy youth groups which played a major role in the transition of power and organised the huge street demonstrations that helped him win the re-run of a fraudulent election.
A Washington-based PR firm called Rock Creek Creative has also boasted of playing a significant role in branding and developing a pro-Yushchenko website but was forced to backtrack after its admission caused an uproar in Russia.
The evidence gathered by The Washington Post - from two US officials, two American doctors and the head of the Austrian clinic where Mr Yushchenko was treated - is the strongest yet that America's role was greater than it let on. Gregory Saathoff, the lead doctor and head of the University of Virginia's critical incident analysis group, confirmed a team of six US doctors analysed Mr Yushchenko's case, first from a distance and then in person. Samples of his hair, nails and blood were brought to Washington for analysis. Mr Saathoff said the doctors were responding to a request from Mr Yushchenko's family which came through the Pentagon.
He claims the US government was not involved but a US official has admitted the State Department provided logistical support for the doctors' trip to Vienna last December.
Officials said that the US ambassador to Ukraine, John Herbst, also helped as did the US embassy in Vienna.
Robert McConnell, head of the US-Ukrainian Foundation, was involved in the operation and says it had to be kept a secret at the time.
