"Poisin Fucked my Face."

UKRAINE's opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko says he is determined to find out the facts behind a suspected poisoning attempt in the lead-up to the country's election.

His face remains disfigured as a result of a mystery illness that struck during the bitterly-fought campaign.

"Soon the world will know what happened," he said from his office in Kiev yesterday.

"I will reveal all the details of what they gave me to look like this."

The Opposition leader said he fell ill after attending a dinner hosted by the Ukraine's secret police in the weeks leading up to the election.

Doctors who treated Mr Yushchenko in Vienna found it difficult to find the cause of the condition - which was severe.

Poison or just a bad hair day. See what happens when you try and use something other than head and shoulders...
