Did Doping Cause Alberto Contador's 100 Tumors?

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.

I guess my late Border Collie doped too.

Think about all the dopers out there who didn't have any medical condition like this.

A family member (my family) has lipoma. Not from doping. Idk which cyclists doped, but lipoma are not from doping.

It's all part of God's plan. Because he loves you.

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?

Correct. No plausible connection to blood doping and whatever else he did.

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.

It's silly because he had his cancer at age 25, before he won any of his TDFs...

If you think Lance wasn't also doping before his cancer / TDF scams, then I got some real estate on the moon to sell you.

I think it’s plausible that doping made his lipomas worse, because steroid use (anabolic and corticosteroids) is linked to growth of benign tumors.

The poor guy ate some tainted beef - why all the hate?

I have lipomas, as do other members of my family. I know for a fact I’ve never doped, so there’s a sample size of 1 to go against your theory
