During a dispute over the content of the 'Allegations of drug use' section, an anonymous editor created a ] article in an attempt to settle the argument. The dispute has died down, but the 'proposal' article remains, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I have not tagged these two articles for merging yet because I want to hear other viewpoints first.

* Merge the two by making the 'allegations' section of the original entry into a new article named 'Allegations of drug use against Lance Armstrong', linking that article to the original entry, then moving the 'allegations' section of the proposal into the original entry as its new 'allegations' section.

Given the lack of recent activity, I would assume that any relevant material has been merged and nominate the 'proposal' article for deletion. There seems no justification for a breakaway article.--] 01:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:Actually I think the proposed artical looks better, however, I don't think that working it a seperate artical is going to work in this case...I'm not going to touch the controversy section myself (I can't spend all my time on wikipedia), but if you think that it's better then go for it... --] 06:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

As suggested, I have merged the two 'Allegations of drug use' sections' and did not create a separate 'allegations of 2005' entry. Thanks everyone! - ] 05:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Seeing how the entire "Reasons for success" section is unsourced, this might be a useful article: ] 16:37, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

== Allegations of drug use ==
"Armstrong is a somewhat controversial athlete in parts of Europe." Who was the Author? Armstrong Public Relation Inc.?? Maybe there is no evidence for drug use, but surely he is the most controversial athlete in the world! American Fan-Nonsense! <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] May 12 2006 </small>

:Come on people, lets be honest here. Of course he doped himself. That explanation that he used ointment cream to treat a rash is just bull... this guy probably does everything he can do to enhance his performance in ways that are hard to detect. His cancer then, if he really has cancer and it is not just a marketing stunt, is probably the result of him injecting himself with everything he can think of.<small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] June 1 2006 </small>
