In this work, we investigate the rescattering effects in the radiative decay {Upsilon}(5S){yields}{eta}{sub b}+{gamma}, which were suggested to be crucially important for understanding the anomalous largeness of the branching ratios B({Upsilon}(5S){yields}{Upsilon}(1S)+{pi}{pi}) and B({Upsilon}(5S){yields}{Upsilon}(1S)+{eta}). Our calculations show that the rescattering effects may enhance {Gamma}({Upsilon}(10860){yields}{eta}{sub b}+{gamma}) by four orders, but the tetraquark structure does not. Recently the BABAR and CLEO collaborations have measured the mass of {eta}{sub b} and the branching ratios B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{eta}{sub b}+{gamma}), B({Upsilon}(3S){yields}{eta}{sub b}+{gamma}). We hope that very soon, {Upsilon}(10860){yields}{eta}{sub b}+{gamma} will be measured and it would be an ideal opportunity for testing whether the rescattering or the tetraquark structure is responsible for the anomaly of B({Upsilon}(5S){yields}{Upsilon}(nS){pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}(n=1,2,3)), i.e., the future measurements on the radiative decays of {Upsilon}(5S) might be a touchstone of the two mechanisms.
