Damiano David, leader of the victorious formation, agreed to submit to a test upon his return to Italy after the scandal caused by a viral video in which he can be seen lowering himself and touching the table with his nose in full competition Saturday in Rotterdam.
These images were seen live across the world.
No complaints but "total transparency"
France had asked Monday for "total transparency" in this affair.
"I believe there should be no doubt," French Secretary of State for European Affairs Clément Beaune said on RMC radio.
On the other hand, Delphine Ernotte, the boss of the France Televisions channel which oversees the French delegation, had for her part excluded from filing a complaint in the event of a positive test.
"Whatever the result of the test, France has no intention of filing a complaint at all," she assured the daily
Le Parisien
.
“The vote is extremely clear in favor of Italy.
She didn't steal her victory and that's what counts, ”she added.
