He had been having dinner and drinks with pals including Sir Bradley Wiggins at the Hotel Illa d’Or in Puerto Pollensa last Saturday.

One witness claimed the married American appeared to be trying to film women.

The onlooker said: “He was focusing on one female wedding guest in particular, who was married and kept dismissing him.

“But he wouldn’t stop pestering her and he asked her to go outside with him for a chat.

“He became a bit much and even started to film some of the female guests on his phone. They clearly looked uncomfortable.

“One of his friends was hitting on the bride’s mother, which is when it all nearly kicked off.

“It could easily have turned into a fight.”

The witness said Wiggins was not involved and the row diffused.

Armstrong, who lost his seven Tour de France titles because of doping, had been joined in Majorca by a number of other cyclists including Brit Mark Cavendish and German Jan Ullrich.

Cavendish was no longer on the island when the alleged wedding incident occurred.

On his podcast The Move last week — recorded in Majorca — he told of going to a karaoke bar with Wiggins.

He did not mention the hotel incident.
