I have a few questions:

there is an "Examiner" named, José Antonio Fernández de Landa in MADRID, Spian. He is on a television show called En Antena.
http://www.antena3.com/enAntena/

he says, in Spanish, that he is a "World recognized Polygraph Examiner". i have never heard of him. Have any of you?

He states that his grading criteria is as follows:

15% upper Pnmo
15% lower Pnmo
30% Galvo
40% Cardio

Is there any school that teaches this?

He also makes Split Calls by saying one is telling the truth to a question and "lying" to another question on the same test.

Thanks for any insight

Here's the link, but the article is below:

Manzano's Veracity?
Ever since Jesus Manzano came out with his tell-all tale of doping within his Kelme team and the pro peloton in general - questions have been permanently blasted about concerning Manzano's intentions, and at the core - his honesty. Was this merely an embittered ex-pro out to make a quick dime?

Apparently not. Manzano submitted himself to a polygraph test on the tv show, En Antena. ProCycling reports that Manzano "was asked to answer 27 questions on En Antena, with a polygraph test set up to verify whether he was telling the truth. In the majority of answers, the polygraph determined that he wasn't lying."

The majority of the questions it was found that he was telling the truth - but which questions told otherwise on the polygraph? The polygraph 'disagreed' about Manzano's answers concerning "the late Jose Maria Jimenez" whom he claimed was "hooked on drugs after years of doping."

More intriguing though were some of his basic motivations as told by the machine: "Manzano took drugs of his own free will, he never feared for his life, and he made his accusations in order to take revenge on his former team."

So even with, shall we say, less than noble motivation to cry the truth from the mountaintop, Manzano has told the truth...according to the polygraph.

Manzano takes polygraph test Former Spanish pro Jesús Manzano has taken a polygraph test while speaking about doping on the TV program, En Antena. Manzano has spoken publicly on numerous occasions about doping in cycling. His original claims have - indirectly at least - been borne out by evidence uncovered in Operación Puerto.

Manzano was asked to answer 27 questions on En Antena, with a polygraph test set up to verify whether he was telling the truth. In the majority of answers, the polygraph determined that he wasn't lying. Manzano said that Eufemiano Fuentes was one of the people who supplied him with drugs, and that his team director helped. He also said that he saw other athletes and footballers in Dr Fuentes' clinic in Madrid, although he couldn't say whether they were there to undergo a doping treatment.

Thanks for your replies! i actually saw his show while in Madrid and i watch the En Antena website and the polygraphs that he does.

Here is a clip of the guy during a test calling his examinee a clown and storming off stage!

If you guys could read Spanish, you would be aware of the nasty things he's been saying about a competing polygraph examiner in Madrid and seems VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. He again claims to be an internationally recognized examiner and was curious if you guys had ever heard of him, because i havent!

The following website is from Spain. I don't know the name of the examiner, but I hope it's not the same clown on the clips.
