Or better yet: maybe Litvinenko wanted sugar in his tea, and accidentally dropped a polonium lump instead of a sugar lump that he found in his pocket?

I seriously doubt this can be anything but murder. Especially when they have found extremely high concentrations of polonium on the teacup and the teapot and on the waiters in the bar. Who did it and why, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but let's be realistic here. It seems like you are grasping at straws here.

Oh, and why should the tea glow? You don't seriously think that just because something is radioactive it has to glow? In fact, almost nothing radioactive glows.
He couldn't meet with Koni so easily. She has a very dense schedule and very little time to chat with former prison guards.
But to be serious, about glowing it's just a joke of course, but why someone have chosen polonium as a poison? There is the logic here? Wasn't it far more easily to use any other poison - less expensive, less dangerous to a poisoner, more efficient, less hard to get, less leaving tracks behind, e.t.c., e.t.c.??!
