The Prosecutor General's Office has interrogated footballer Andrii Husin within the case on poisoning of then presidential candidate Viktor Yuschenko in 2004.
He said this in an interview with the Sovetsky Sport newspaper.
"I may be wrong in the definition, but I have been asked within the case 'on attempt on a statesman,'" Husin said.
Husin said he could not disclose what he was asked about as the investigation continues.
He said the interrogation lasted for nearly six hours.
"They also told me I can be summoned again," he added.
Husin said he did not know about alleged summons from the Prosecutor General's Office to Andrii Shevchenko and Kakhaber Kaladze.
According to some media reports, Husin, Shevchenko, and Kaladze are acquainted with Tamaz Tsyntsabadze, the owner of the Kyiv premium class car showroom, who was one of the participants in a dinner at the dacha of Volodymyr Satsiuk, the former first deputy head of the Security Service of Ukraine, on September 5, 2004, where Yuschenko might have been poisoned.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, players of the Italian football club AC Milan Andrii Shevchenko and Kakhaber Kaladze have denied some media reports that they have been summoned to the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office as witnesses in the case on poisoning of Viktor Yuschenko.
Yuschenko himself and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko were summoned as witnesses in the case this fall.
