Lance Armstrong always remained in the limelight during his cycling career and even after that. Even after more than a decade after his retirement, Armstrong’s past steps often pop up in the mainstream media. This time, one of Armstrong’s old tweets has come up to the surface as the Twitter culture is rapidly changing. The tweet, if done in today’s time, would have shocked the entire community. 

The recent price announcements of getting verified have given a rise to fake accounts of popular celebrities. Even other global sporting stars like LeBron James, Connor McDavid, and many others have been a victim of this trap. 

When Lance Armstrong openly tweeted his mobile number

A popular YouTube channel, Cartoon Show recently hosted a panel discussion on how the tweets from fake accounts were misjudged by the audience. Craig Carton brought some recently trending tweets related to global sports stars. However, the tweet from Lance Armstrong left everyone thinking if it was really done by him or not. 

In the tweet, Lance was offering some assistance and allegedly gave his mobile number as well. Lance tweeted, “Hey-you bet. Happy to help. Call my cell 7783847520,” However, when checked it turned out the number was out of service.

 This tweet was done way back in 2012, so one can’t say whether he gave out his real number or was just bluffing. But looking at the current situation, one can easily believe that this was done from a fake account, as other tweets showed that many mega stars have been a victim of this latest.

Craig brought out another tweet where NBA star LeBron James publicly announced his farewell from Lakers Nation. At first glance, it looked like a genuine tweet of the superstar himself, since the account had a blue tick. But it turned out that the tweet was done via a fake account with just 3 followers. 

Another tweet was from an NHL superstar Connor McDavid’s account that announced his trade from Oiler to NY Islanders. However, even this turned out to be a case of a fake account. It seemed like the former cycling star’s tweet would also have been considered fake if he would’ve done it in these times.
