    Lokomotiv Plovdiv Suffer Shock Defeat To Bottom Side, Owner Forces Players To Take Lie Detector Tests
    The entire playing and coaching staff at Bulgarian first division side Lokomotiv Plovdiv have all been ordered by the the club’s (slightly paranoid) new owner to undergo lie detector tests after they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat by bottom club Botev Vratsa.
    The result was Lokomotiv Plovdiv’s first defeat of the league season, but the manner in which it came about – Botev Vratsa had lost their five previous game – had owner Veselin Mareshki pondering the possibility of match-fixing within his camp and he’s after a little peace of mind:
    “Nobody is insured against defeats but this loss was very strange. The fair-play principle is the most important thing for me and all players and coaches will take lie detector tests.”

    Bring it on I say. Every time my team suffers a defeat I want to know why! Managers, Players, Refs and mascots. No one will be spared. We have ways of making you talk.

    They should probably employ this in Serie A too!

    They'd be burning out lie detectors faster than they could be made. :)

    Despite the best efforts of Jeremy Kyle lie detector test are not very reliable. Practitioners claim they are 95%+ accurate but others say that they are little better than 50:50 (ie a coin toss)

    They'd just buy off the lie detector people.
