Juan José Amador Castaño (born 20 April 1998) is a Colombian cyclist who currently rides for UCI Continental team Supergiros–Alcaldía de Manizales.
In May 2019, Amador returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for boldenone – a naturally occurring anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) – in an out-of-competition control taken in October 2018. Team Manzana Postobón folded four days later, due to the doping cases of Amador and teammate Wilmar Paredes. Amador was ultimately cleared of the charge, and returned to racing in October 2020.
