Diuretics can act as a "masking agent" -- use of a diuretic can mask the use of anabolic steroids, stimulants, cannabis or other banned substances. Diuretics are also misused for quick weight loss, particularly in sports with weight categories like boxing.
Prohibited substances in Class D (the diuretics) banned by the Olympic Movement Anti-Doping Code (OMAC) include: "amiloride, acetazolamide, bumetamide, chlortalidone, etacrynic acid, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, mannitol, mersalyl, spironolactone, triamterene and related substances".
