Doctors treating Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny said Friday there was no evidence to back claims he was poisoned, as aides accused authorities of risking his life by refusing to allow his evacuation to Germany for treatment.

Mr Navalny, a 44-year-old lawyer and anti-corruption campaigner who is among President Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics, was in a coma in intensive care in the Siberian city of Omsk after he lost consciousness while on a flight and his plane made an emergency landing on Thursday.READ MOREDoctors treating him in Omsk said Friday that tests had shown no trace of any poison and that Mr Navalny was in no condition to be moved, despite the arrival of an air ambulance sent to take him to Germany.

"We do not believe that the patient suffered poisoning," he said, adding that doctors"practically" had a full diagnosis that had been communicated to Mr Navalny's family.Mr Navalny's spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh said the refusal was a ploy to hide the poisoning and put his life at risk.'Play for time' An air ambulance dispatched by a German charity to bring Mr Navalny to Berlin for treatment had landed in Omsk, after Chancellor Angela Merkel extended an offer of treatment.

The US embassy in Moscow said in a tweet on Friday that if the poisoning claim proved true it would represent"a grave moment for Russia, and the Russian people deserve to see all those involved held to account".

Race to save life of fierce Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny after suspected poisoningAlexei Navalny is battling for his life in a Siberian hospital after a suspected poisoning as Germany prepares to dispatch an air ambulance to bring him to Europe for treatment. Obviously he was poisoned because someone out there doesn't want him to win the election. Outrageous that SBS publish this tale without a blush, when the cause of his illness has not been diagnosed. Putin dunnit again no doubt. Utterly shameless 'reporting'. Silencing critics by poison is the MO. Blatant.
