Mauricio Fiol Villanueva (born March 26, 1994) is a former Peruvian swimmer.[1] At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in the Men's 200 metre butterfly, finishing in 25th place overall in the heats, failing to qualify for the semifinals.[2] He has also won a bronze medal in 1500 metre free in the 2012 Swimming World Cup in Moscow, Russia.[3]
Although Fiol was initially awarded the silver medal at the 2015 Pan American Games in the 200 meter butterfly event, he tested positive for stanozolol after the race.[4] Fiol was stripped of his silver medal and disqualified from participating in the 2016 Olympics by the FINA and was banned for four years to run to 11 July 2019.[5]
Immediataly after returning to competition in 2019, Fiol tested positive for stanozolol on six separate tests. He was subsequently served with an 8-year competition ban to run to 2027.[6][7]
