<p>Russian Sergei Prokopyev said investigators are looking at samples he and crewmate Oleg Kononenko collected during a December 12 spacewalk.</p>
<p>Mr Prokopyev and two other astronauts returned to Earth last week after a 197-day space station mission.</p>
<p>The hole was spotted on August 30 in the Russian Soyuz spacecraft attached to the station.</p>
<p>The crew located and sealed a tiny leak that was creating a slight loss of pressure.</p>
<p>Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin said in September the hole could have been drilled when the capsule was built or in orbit.</p>
<p>Mr Rogozin stopped short of blaming crew members, but the statement has caused friction between Roscosmos and Nasa.</p>
