Mannitol is a diuretic that has been used by some athletes, particularly in sports like bodybuilding and Weightlifting, to achieve rapid weight loss or to manipulate weight classes. It has also been reported to be used by endurance athletes for its potential to enhance performance by promoting fluid shifts in the body. However, its use is controversial and can lead to health risks, and it is banned in certain sports organizations. Specific names of athletes using mannitol are not typically disclosed due to privacy and regulatory reasons.
