   Why would you drink a tea made by a Russian in Russia..stupid fucks.   
      
      
   British Police Poisoned While Investigating Fatal Poisoning Of Russian   
   Defector   
      
   British officers investigating the fatal poisoning of Russian whistleblower   
   Alexander Litvinenko claim they were also poisoned while pursuing the case in   
   Moscow.   
      
   Litvinenko was a former KGB officer who defected to London shortly before his   
   death to expose corruption within Kremlin’s security services. Litvinenko   
   fell ill November 2006 after his tea was poisoned with radioactive   
   polonium-210. He passed away 23    
   days later.    
      
   Scotland Yard officers travelled to Moscow to investigate the two men who   
   allegedly put the polonium in Litvinenko’s tea. Brian Tarpey, who led the   
   investigation, says his team was poisoned during a visit to the prosecutor   
   general’s office.   
      
   “I had a cup of tea and we left. I started to feel uncomfortable. Not   
   wanting to put too fine a point on it, I had the sh**s,” Tarpey said in a   
   new Channel 4 documentary about the case. “We were probably poisoned with   
   something like gastroenteritis.   
    I think there was a deliberate ploy to weaken us physically because we were   
   the decision makers in the team.”   
      
   The Russian embassy in the United Kingdom declined to comment on Tarpey’s   
   accusations, according to The Sunday Times.   
      
   A British inquiry into the murder found “strong circumstantial evidence of   
   Russian state responsibility.” Investigators concluded the assassination was   
   likely ordered by President Vladimir Putin, but the 328-page report offers no   
   direct evidence to    
   back up the claim.
