    Explanation
    Xipamide and Bendroflumethiazide are examples of banned substances within the category of diuretics and other masking agents. Diuretics are substances that increase urine production and promote the excretion of water and electrolytes from the body. They can be used to mask the presence of other prohibited substances in urine samples by diluting or flushing them out. This category also includes other substances that can interfere with the doping control process, such as agents that alter the pH or specific gravity of urine. Therefore, athletes are prohibited from using diuretics and other masking agents to maintain the integrity of drug testing in sports.
