Peter Bol will take a lie detector test in a desperate bid to clear his name after the Olympic hero was caught up in doping allegations.

The 800m national record holder and Commonwealth Games silver medallist’s athletics career hangs in the balance as he remains suspended after testing positive for the performance enhancing erythropoietin (EPO).

Bol is still awaiting a B-sample test result in March and continues to deny doping.

It is understood his team is organising the lie detector test in an effort to prove his innocence.

“Of course I’m saying ‘how is this fair?’ And how is the B-sample going to be fair? I’m innocent, so the process is flawed,” Bol said.

“And I feel this anti-doping system is flawed.

“I’ve heard before comments on the circuit that so-and-so was being screwed. And that’s a shock ... because you assume the system is fair.

“And now I’m becoming a victim. I can’t control what people think of me, but it’s important to me and I hope they will give me a chance to prove my innocence.”

Bol is expected to miss the domestic athletics season, which begins this weekend.

If the result comes back positive his lawyer Paul Greene, the head of Global Sports Advocates, will look at pursuing an appeal, which could cost around $300,000.
