Did somebody sabotage the ISS? Apparently not.
The idea that a crewmember drilled the hole in their Soyuz has been debunked because there are drill scratches on the outside of the hull...and they'd know if somebody tried to sneak an EVA.
Apparently, a groundside maintenance worker accidentally drilled the hole and, presumably out of fear of getting into trouble, patched it instead of reporting it. The patch has now been shored up so that they can get back to Earth on schedule.
The worker, of course, got into trouble. Whether he's looking for a new job or not is unclear...
