David denied using the drugs, explaining that he allegedly checked the glass top of the table because guitarist Thoma Raggi broke it: “We are really against drugs and we have never used cocaine. We are ready to be tested because we have nothing to hide,” he defended himself.
Eurovision officials said in a statement that they were already resolving the controversy. According to them, the band’s singer agreed to voluntarily undergo a drug test.
The Italian rock band Maneskin won the Eurovision Song Contest. According to bookmakers, the group was already a favorite. However, after the votes were given, she lagged behind performers from Switzerland, France and Malta. The votes of the spectators helped the group to win.
Eurovision returned this year after a one-year hiatus caused by the covid-19 pandemic. The live performance during the final evening was watched by 3,500 fans, who had previously proved themselves by a negative test.
