A member of the group that won the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest has agreed to take a drug test after a moment from the show went viral.
The Italian glam rock band Maneskin was the winner this year, but their win has been overshadowed by something that happened when they weren’t even on stage.
Damiano David, who is the lead singer of the band, was seen leaning forward while sitting at a table in the green room and this has raised suspicions that he was using cocaine.

Damiano denied taking drugs and said he has never used drugs. He said that he was looking down as there was broken glass below him. To prove his innocence, he has requested a drug test.
“I don’t use drugs,” he said at a press conference. “Please, guys. Don’t say that, really, no cocaine.”
The European Broadcasting Union said, “This (test) was requested by them last night but could not be immediately organized by the EBU. We are still looking at footage carefully and will update with further information in due course.”
