Armstrong 'might take lie detector test,' says lawyer

Lance Armstrong’s lawyer has revealed the cyclist might take a lie detector test in an attempt to prove he is innocent of doping allegations, but admitted few people would believe the results even if they showed he was telling the truth.

The Texan 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, which has stripped him of his seven Tour de France titles and banned him from cycling for life.
