Viktor Yushchenko, the pro-Western guy in the Ukrainian presidential run-off on Sunday, claims to have been the victim of a poisoning. Check him out here.
Mr Yushchenko, prime minister between 1999 and 2001, claims to have been the victim of dirty tricks, including what he alleged was an assassination attempt, when a lorry repeatedly swerved towards his car.
In September, he sought medical treatment in Austria, claiming that he had been poisoned.
His illness, whatever its causes, has caused startling changes to his boyish looks, which used to endear him to female voters.
