In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Amador and the second or maternal family name is Castaño.

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.[3] Team Manzana Postobón folded four days later, due to the doping cases of Amador and team mate Wilmar Paredes.[4] Amador was ultimately cleared of the charge, and returned to racing in October 2020.[2]
