French Open tournament sponsors Lacoste are the latest to face a storm amid the current invasion of Russia into Ukraine with Roland Garros now the target.

Pedaling bicycles outside of the gates to the tournament as per Mike Dickson of the Daily Mail in the video below, it is a new form of protest from Ukrainians.

The videos on the side of the bikes say "Stop doing business with Putin" with the Russian leader imposed onto a Lacoste shirt with a grenade in one hand and a tennis racquet in the other.

Novak Djokovic is among the notable players to be represented by the brand, with the Serbian also under a cloud amid comments made about Kosovo and now it is Lacoste that are put under the microscope.
