    Fresh claims of Vladimir Putin's use of a body double were aired after the despot was spotted checking the wrong wrist for his watch.<\/p>\n

    The Russian president spotted glancing at his left arm during a Russian Council for Strategic Development and National Projects meeting, and people caught on to his blunder. <\/p>\n

    Putin has always worn watches on his right arm, making the seemingly innocuous moment one for Telegram conspiracy theorists to tear into as a new sign of body double use.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    They wrote the "wrong wrist" moment for the alleged lookalike gave the game away and the "embarrassment" which followed could unveil proof of a body double.<\/p>\n

    Further allegations of video tampering were levelled at the Kremlin, with the Telegram channel claiming the footage was doctored to edit out the blunder.<\/p>\n

    They said: "The double completely forgot that Putin wears a watch on his right hand, out of habit raised his left hand to check the time. Not finding a watch there, [he] embarrassedly lowered it."<\/p>\n
