''I do not refuse from having my blood tested. I refuse from having  this blood test going single-handedly. After two or three years they will say that Yushchenko has 5 percent of dioxin left seven years later. That's correct, I have 5 percent of dioxin left, but I have a blood sample from 2005,'' said Victor Yushchenko.

In turn, Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka says the opposite. According to him, Yushchenko does not want to have his blood tested again, and the criminal investigation of his intoxication can be closed Trud newspaper said.
