WATCH: Eurovision winners deny cocaine claims

Maneskin's Damiano David


Eurovision winners, Maneskin, have strongly denied claims that singer Damiano David was using drugs during the show.

The Italian rock band beat out 39 other countries in Rotterdam Saturday with their song  Zitti e Buoni, receiving a whopping 524 points to win the Eurovision song contest.

However, during the final, footage began to circulate online showing David and the band drinking and celebrating the occasion when David bows his head and bends down towards the table, leading fans to speculate that he was sniffing cocaine

David and his bandmates have strongly denied the allegations, saying that he was picking up broken glass from the table.

When asked  about the alleged drug use at the Eurovision press conference, David said: "Thomas broke a glass, I don't use drugs please guys, do not say that."

Their victory marred by the allegations, the band took to their Instagram account, saying: "We are really shocked about what some people are saying about Damiano doing drugs. We really are against drugs and we never used cocaine. We are ready to get tested, 'cause we have nothing to hide.
