News came out this week that former banned doper Alberto Contador needed surgery to remove over 100 tumors between his skin and muscles. Contador was caught doping and banned for 2 years for clenbuterol and stripped of his 2010 Tour de France win. This sounds so much like our own Lance Armstrong who's years of doping is strongly suspected to have caused his testicular cancer.

He had lipomas removed. Doper, certainly…but those benign fatty masses are a genetic trait.
What if Contador was also gene doping? Not like anyone actually tests for gene doping and it is a method developed when Contador was a rider.
How many other people have done all of the same things that Contador did and do not have lipomas? It's a pretty big leap to make any kind of judgement off of a sample size of 1.

Yes, my brother has these, and he definitely has never doped. (Not a professional athlete.)
As for Lance, I think it's silly to claim doping caused his cancer. All manner of people get cancer. Anything might have caused it. Why didn't his teammates get cancer (since they were on the same stuff) like him?

Because Lance took the doping to the extreme with a cocktail of drugs. None of his teammates were ever as powerful as he is, Lance wouldn't allow it. It's not silly to connect Lance's PED use to his testicular cancer, it's well known that athletes apply testosterone patches onto their testicles.
