It's part of a complex process when doping, where blood volume is increased to pass tests, then the diuretic is taken to decrease the blood volume allowing the EPO or transfusion to have more of an effect.
Allegedly.
I thought they used saline drips to increase blood volume before the test. Didn't think they needed to decrease it again? That it was just absorbed and eventually pissed out.
