Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has been told to not eat or drink anything as well as avoid touching surfaces when he sits in on more peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey.
The 55-year-old is currently acting as an unofficial mediator in talks that are being held by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Reports on Monday emerged that Abramovich had been the victim of 'chemical warfare' poisoning. The billionaire has been spotted in Istanbul with Russian television showing him speaking to a woman with both parties trying to shield their faces once they realised they were on camera.
The Wall Street Journal has claimed that the poisoning attempt was down to Russian agents who wanted to disrupt the discussions. Abramovich is seemingly in a much better condition now, but after the suspected attack his symptoms were said to include "red eyes, constant and painful tearing, and peeling skin on their faces and hands."
