Like many runners, I have popped an immodium pill before a marathon to help the stomach go the distance. Is it a banned substance? If not, do pros use it? I would think that pros would avoid it because it can mess with hydration and cause some stomach cramping. But the Lauren Fleshman quote and the famous Grete Weitz and Paula Radcliffe "movements" left me wondering whether it was a ped or not.
This seems like a good starting point:
A search feature would have let me take it one step further, but, I am just killing time while I wait for files to zip up at work.

I don't see it listed specifically (loperamide).

I found a copy of The Paralympic Athlete: Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science on Google books that clearly states it is not banned. I would assume the same would hold true for regular athletes. I Googled "loperamide banned substance".
