MOSCOW: Doctors at a Russian state facility on Wednesday said they had found no traces of poison in jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, but his physician dismissed the results as"completely absurd".But Alexei Tokarev, head of the state Sklifosovsky Institute for Emergency Care, said their toxicology lab ran Navalny's samples and"poisoning substances were not found," according to Russian news agencies.

Following Sunday's incident, Vasilyeva had said that Navalny's condition suggested poisoning by an unknown chemical substance after the 43-year-old was rushed to a hospital from jail, where he is being held over an unauthorised protest. The politician - one of President Vladimir Putin's most vocal critics - said the official explanation of his symptoms as an"allergy" did not make sense as he had never suffered from any allergies.

Among them is Pyotr Verzilov, an activist with Russian protest punk band Pussy Riot who experienced sudden loss of vision and disorientation in 2018 and recovered in Germany.
