Calfornian offers Landis $100,000 to take polygraph test
August 7th, 2006 by Tim GrahlSan Diego computer entrepreneur Michael Robertson on Thursday offered Tour de France winner Floyd Landis $100,000 to “clear the air” and take a polygraph examination while addressing charges that he doped on his way to victory in the Tour.
Robertson, who made his fortune off of investments in a host of software companies - including a Linux-based operating system called “Linspire” and and VOIP system know as SIPphone - is also a former collegiate cyclist and fan of the professional peloton. Robertson sent a fax addressed to Landis on Thursday offering to test the cyclist using a set of mutually agreed-upon questions designed to reveal facts surrounding doping allegations that came to light just days after completion of the Tour.
Robertson, on Friday, said he had not received a response from either the team or Landis himself.

Even the government agencies have admitted that polygraph tests are unreliable.
cool
I am going to steal this
not all polygraphs are unreliable. the CIA still uses them and stands firmly behind the results. like most tests - the validity comes down to the manner in which it is conducted.
its a leap of good faith on landis’ part.
why else are we all so po’d about it?
still no update
