The Italian pop star previously suspected by some viewers of snorting cocaine at the Eurovision finals is no stranger to controversy, MailOnline has learned.
Damiano David s group Maneskin were accused of plagiarism earlier this year after winning a major competition in Italy.
David s on-screen antics shortly before Maneskin were crowned as winners on Saturday led some viewers to suggest he may have been snorting cocaine during the event, but he vehemently denied it and has since been cleared of drug use.
He tested negative for drugs following an investigation by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
The EBU said in a statement: No drug use took place in the Green Room and we consider the matter closed.
