Mauri sued the Costa Rican State for a figure greater than 380,000.00 dollars, alleging that he had suffered psychological damage because he had not been awarded a prize given to the gold medal winner Olympic swimmer Claudia Poll because he won a gold medal at the FINA World Masters Championships [3] in 2010 at Gothenburg, Sweden, he was 26 and he competed in the Masters group in the competition, making his win easier. Result of this, Mauri does not enjoy the respect of the sports community in Costa Rica. He has been widely criticized by the Costa Rica government and society for taking advantage of a legal technicality.
