This only applies if the universe is infinite. We don't know it for sure, though we have a lower bound of the universe size at 250 Hubble volumes: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1745-3933.2011....

And infinite universe brings strange phenomenons, like our doppelgangers far away, that are exactly like us.

Infinite universe can contain infinite set of objects without any of them being your doppleganger. Unless there's only limited set of objects that can exist in universe at all which doesn't seem likely.
