Cycling: ‘Armstrong to consider lie detector test’

Armstrong would consider this if the 26 witnesses who testified against him would do the same.

LONDON: Lance Armstrong could be willing to take a lie detector test as he tries to prove he is not guilty of doping allegations, the American’s lawyer claimed yesterday. The Texan’s lawyer Tim Herman insists Armstrong would consider taking a lie detector test if the 26 witnesses who testified against him to the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) would do the same. “A lie detector test properly administered, I’m a proponent of that frankly, just personally,” said Herman. However, it is still uncertain if Armstrong will take the test. “We might do that, you never know. “Because he’s moved on. His name is never going to be clear with anyone beyond what it is today,” he added to clarify if Armstrong had any reason not to take a test.
