Charity sports auction
NZPA-Reuter Paris The football jerseys, tennis rackets and racing cycles of a handful of international sporting figures raised nearly one million francs (about $254,800) at a televised auction to collect aid for the Third World. A French soccer team jersey worn by the striker, Dominique Rocheteau, brought $72,800 at the four-hour auction, held on a live television
show organised by the French tennis star, Yannick Noah. The Formula One driver, Alain Prost, offered overalls sold for $18,200 while a bicyle pedalled by the Frenchman, Bernard Hinault, fetched $14,000. The proceeds will go to the French section of the C.A.R.E. aid organisation. A jersey sported by the French soccer team’s captain, Michel Platini, was sold for $16,380.
