I seem to remember there's a story in the fantastic book on the British Hill climb championships https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Corinthian-Endeavour-Story-National-Hill-Climb-Championship/1874739765 of a winner of the coveted gold cap having it shat in by his team leader when racing in Europe

I've heard a story about, I think, Breukink, who had the shits, used a spare cap then threw it towards the side of the road, only for it to land at the feet of a kid, who initially was delighted to get unexpected bounty from his visit to Le Tour. The team car witnessed the look of horror as the full truth unveiled itself at his lucky find.
