Wilmar Andrés Paredes Zapata (born 27 April 1996) is a Colombian road and track cyclist, who is provisionally suspended from the sport. He competed as a junior at the 2014 UCI Road World Championships in the men's junior road race and as an under-23 rider at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships in the men's under-23 road race. He won the gold medal at the 2016 Pan American Track Cycling Championships in the team pursuit.[3]
In April 2019, Paredes returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for erythropoietin (EPO) in an out-of-competition control taken in February 2019.[4] Team Manzana Postobón folded in May, due to the doping cases of Paredes and team mate Juan José Amador.[5]
