KIEV - The two remaining candidates in Ukraine’s presidential race underwent televised drug and alcohol tests on Friday, capping a week in which they traded jibes in tit-for-tat social media videos and goaded each other to agree to a live policy debate.
The comedian had demanded they both be tested for drugs after he accepted Poroshenko’s challenge for a policy debate in an apparent attempt to up the ante in their rivalry. An hour later, several television channels broadcast live footage of Poroshenko, 53, having his blood drawn by a medic in red scrubs in a room inside Kiev’s main football stadium.
“I’m at the stadium today,” Poroshenko told reporters. “Volodymyr Oleksandrovych, as I understand it, was not. I came, but you didn’t. No matter, I am sure that he will pick up the courage and come here and the debate will happen.”
