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?

Testing, testing, One, Two, Wee. (and blood)

The recent doping outburst by 'Roid Landis got me thinking about doping, and its not something I really know that much about, so I'm hoping some of you older hands in here can enlighten me.

So Sir Lance-alot has never failed a doping test, which clearly isnt the same as saying he never doped. But For someone who has built an empire out of being such a remarkable rider, surely he has been as academic in his private studies as physical as he was in his training in researching and experimenting with what substances can both enhance his performance whilst not yet being detected?
