Defiant Armstrong posts pic of Tour champion jerseys

This post on Lance Armstrong's Twitter page has been been met with a mix of outrage and applause by the online community.

According to CNN, Lance Armstrong has defiantly posted an internet picture of himself with the seven Tour de France winner's jerseys that have been expunged from the history books.




The American's victories from 1999-2005 have been annulled by cycling's ruling body following a damning report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which made allegations of systematic drug use that he refused to contest.

The 41-year-old was banned for life, has been ordered to return his prize money and also faces a $12 million lawsuit from a former sponsor.

However, Armstrong -- who has never admitted any wrongdoing -- made his stance clear this weekend on social networking website Twitter, where he has 3.8 million followers.

With a status reading "Back in Austin and just layin' around..." Armstrong posted a picture of himself laying in his lounge with the seven yellow jerseys framed on the wall.
