Kadyrov has repeatedly had to reject rumors about his state of health. In March, similar rumors were sparked by a small device he was carrying, which turned out to be an electronic Muslim prayer counter, according to the Chechen leader.
“I’m alive and I’m in great shape” Kadyrov said at that time. “The authors of these fantastic theories need a doctor” he added.
