Hoyos began his career with hometown club Oriente Petrolero where he played as a starter between 2002 and 2006. The following year he went to The Strongest on a loan. In 2008, he returned to Oriente to play for another season.[2] Subsequently, Hoyos awoke the interest of popular club Bolívar and he agreed to join the team for the 2009 season,[3] on 21 September 2009 he was suspended after testing positive for dexamethasone in an anti-doping test. He signed for Israeli side Hapoel Tel Aviv on 22 January 2010,[4] but on 26 January 2010 just 4 days after he signed for club the team decided to release him. On 2 February he signed for Bolivian side Oriente Petrolero again.
Doping case
Hoyos was tested positive for use of a banned substance after a national team game against Venezuela in June 2009, in which game he clashed heads with Ronald García.[5] He was cleared to play again by CONMEBOL in October 2009 after it was declared the injection used was aimed to help ease the sustained head injury.[6]
Hoyos has earned a total of 28 caps for the Bolivia national team with one goal scored between 2002 and 2011.[7] He represented his country in 9 FIFA World Cup qualification matches.[8]
