Lie detectors

Just read Armstrong's lawyers willing to allow lie detector use. My question is, would he cheat the lie detector, Beta Blockers are known to control heart rate under stressful conditions, perhaps others can do likewise and could their use be masked by an agent?

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

The thing is, this story is all over the internet and is being reported as LA could take lie detector test... which is a bit of a leap from what was actually said.

Here's our take on it  3

All I meant was, It was a couple of questions in a very brief conversation, yet its a full blown news story now  19

thanks Gkam yes - we're in the process of making a whole article out of it too. Would've been on earlier but a bit of an Armstrong story logjam.

People have ways of getting round Lie Detectors aswell as doping control.
