MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Ukraine official Mihail Zubkov was suspended by FINA on Wednesday for assaulting his swimmer daughter Kateryna at the world championships in Melbourne, Australia.

FINA's temporary ban bars Zubkov from working as a coach or official under its jurisdiction until a final decision has been made following representations by his lawyer.

In TV footage captured on Tuesday, 38-year-old Zubkov was filmed scuffling with his 20-year-old daughter Kateryna Zubkova at Rod Laver Arena.

Zubkov, who is Kateryna's coach, has already been stripped of his accreditation at the event and banned by Australian officials from making any contact with his daughter. He is due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Thursday where police will seek to extend an intervention order -- forbidding Zubkov from going within 200 meters of his daughter -- until he leaves Australia at the end of the week.

The footage by host broadcaster the Nine Network showed Zubkov swinging and trying to aggressively grab his daughter against her will, and it concluded with the father attempting to comfort the swimmer by embracing her on the floor. The altercation ended when Nine Network staff alerted police.

The woman did not require any medical treatment.

She won her 50-meter backstroke heat on Wednesday, but did not qualify for the semifinals.

Rowing team arrested for illegal entry

Tue Mar 20, 9:56 AM ET

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian border guards arrested Belarus's national rowing team Tuesday for illegally entering the country on a flotilla of eight boats.

The border guard service said a coast guard vessel was dispatched to intercept and detain 10 rowers who had crossed into Ukrainian waters on the border with Transdniestria, a region of ex-Soviet Moldova controlled by separatists.

Team members told officials they were unaware they had crossed the border in the southern Ukrainian region. They now face charges in court.

News reports said the Belarussians had been invited to train for the world championship in Transdniestria as reservoirs in their ex-Soviet state, further north, were still covered in ice.

Mnohaya Lita Hryhoriy!

Ukraine's 'oldest man' turns 116!

A man thought to be the oldest living person in the world is celebrating his 116th birthday. Hryhoriy Nestor was born in what is now Ukraine.

The authorities are to mark the occasion by officially recognising him as the oldest person in Ukraine.

They say they have documents that prove that his birthday is on 15 March 1891. An attempt is now being made to get him into the international record books.

Hryhoriy puts his long life down to the fact that he has never been married.

To mark his birthday, Hryhoriy Nestor is having a small party - just a few friends and family will gather at his home.

Austro-Hungarian 'golden era'

Unlike many people from his village in western Ukraine, Hryhoriy has survived a brutal dictatorship, wars and grinding poverty.

In the past, the area was ruled by Poland and the Soviet Union.

But the 116-year-old says that life was best when the region was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire a century ago.

It was only at the age of 100 that he retired from working as a farm labourer.

He is now looked after by a relative.

Hryhoriy, who still has a full head of hair, says that being single has kept him feeling young.

He recommends a diet of milk, cheese and potatoes as well as the occasional shot of vodka.

Could It be True? We are all Ukrainian!?

SCIENTISTS GOOF UP ORIGINS??
By Mark Elbard, Sr. Reporter

Los Angeles - Researchers in the anthropological department at UCLA uncovered, what has to be, one of the greatest goofs of modern anthropological studies today. Dr. Anid Harjak, head of the Anthropology and Archeological departments at UCLA said, "I can't believe we could have missed something like this, but what we have now discovered is more exciting that anything we've ever encountered."

Man did not originate from Africa?

May 2005 - Dr. Anid and his team have made a new discovery. A set of bones of an early human-like tribe predating those found in Africa by 1000 years. Where was this discovery made? In a large country right in the middle of Europe and Asia. A country that most Americans haven't even heard of until the recent Elections that took place there, Ukraine.

The bones, at first, looked too evolved to be considered as bones from such an early period. "But after a cross reference with the bones found in Africa, we found that the bones we thought to be of early human origins, in Africa, were in fact bones of a species very close to ours, but not quite" said Dr. Rosalina Evandelez, one of the participants of the geological digs and leading expert of Early Human Evolutional Development.

As it turns out, the bones found in Kravina, Ukraine, were early human bones. "The oldest ever found. It seems that this country that most of us have hardly even heard of is where life originated. And after we ran several statistical diagnostics through our computer, we have discovered that 87.9% of humans living on this planet today have some traces Ukrainian blood in them, believe it or not. 10% has been worn away through strict in-race breeding and inbreeding through families, such as the cultures of the middle east and the royal families throughout the world" Dr. Anid stated enthusiastically.

More information on this subject can be found in next month's National Geographic Magazine.

Ukrainian Worked Out Elixir of Immortality
MIGnews.com.ua
Ukrainian scientist, 70-year-old medicine professor Gennadiy Apanasenko invented elixir of immortality. He together with group of scientists will test it.

“You will see, I will look as 35-year-old! – Gennadiy Apanasenko is sure. – Grey hair to disappear, my hair will become thick, my vision will become better, wrinkles will disappear. We will overcome death!”

Experiment will start in two weeks. 30 Ukrainian scientists will test elixir of eternal life which was invented by them. They will drink a few drops of substance every morning. Substance is a secret. Also they will use electron equipment.

“I just can say we understood what the alterations are in the human cells when it dies. Now we know how to avoid these alterations”, states professor Apanasenko. – We are able to influence on human development (ontogenesis). Now we can return any person to any age. You will choose the age”.

Scientists will tell about this theory in Kyiv at the Anti-Ageing Medicine congress on March, 15 – 17. After public promulgation project “Individual immortality” will start. The whole group of inventors will take part in it. They represent different departments – physiology, biochemistry, physics, electronics. They will carry out experiment on their organisms for a year. And everybody will see whether scientists will become younger or not. They have no doubts in success, Forum reports.
