Pan Am Games officials would not confirm the swimmer's
confession.
Fiol placed second behind Brazil's Leonardo de Deus in Tuesday's
200m butterfly final, clocking a Peruvian record of one minute,
55.15 seconds.
"Today is a very difficult day for me, because I just found out
that I tested positive in the anti-doping test," Fiol posted in
Spanish on his Facebook page.
"I am very confused because I am always one who promotes the
fair play, hard work, and with a lot of effort I get to my
goals.
"I do not understand what happened. I apologize to the whole
country, to my club, my family, my coaches, my sponsors."
Fiol said that he was in touch with authorities to determine
what happens next.
