Why diuretics are
banned in sport
February 11 2003 at 04:15PM
Diuretics, the drugs responsible for Australian cricketer
Shane Warne's positive dope test, are used to eliminate fluid
from the body.
Warne tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride,
diuretics prescribed to treat high blood pressure, heart
failure, diseases of the kidneys and liver and pre-menstrual
tension.
They are included on the banned drugs list because they can be
misused to lose weight quickly in sports which have weight
categories or to increase the rate that urine is produced and
eliminated.
Diluting urine makes it more difficult to detect the presence
of a prohibited performance-enhancing drug.
The side-effects include dehydration which can lead to fatal
kidney and heart failure.
