‘Armstrong might take lie detector test’

WASHINGTON — Lance Armstrong might take a lie detector test to clear his name from doping allegations, his lawyer said on Sunday, as the ripples of the biggest scandal to hit cycling prompted Australian officials to consider an amnesty for cheats.

Cycling Australia’s board will meet this week to decide action against Armstrong’s former teammate Matt White after he confessed to doping and stepped down as sports director of the Orica-GreenEdge team.

Board president Klaus Mueller said amnesty was one of options to find out how deep the problem was in Australia.
