Lance may take lie detector, says lawyer

Armstrong has been labelled a serial cheat and a bully who led “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen” by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which has stripped him of his seven Tour de France titles and banned him from cycling for life.
