Not only did one of Lance Armstrong’s yellow jerseys fail to fetch an impressive price at a recent auction, but the disgraced cyclist appeared to have gone on the defense about it.
Described in the auction catalogue as: “A Lance Armstrong signed 2004 Tour De France yellow jersey, signature in black marker pen, United States Postal Services and other logos; sold together with a Lance Armstrong competitor’s sticky-back patch, numbered 1, sponsor Konica Minolta.”
Whether the signature on the jersey was genuine or not, it only managed to fetch a mere £150.
After learning about the dismal auction results, Armstrong took to Twitter to give his reaction.
