canrenone is a metabolite of spironolactone, which is anti-androgenic. Why is it banned?

Because everything is banned these days. Not long before they only allow water to be in your blood.

Canrenone (Contaren, Luvion) is an aldosterone antagonist with additional antiandrogen properties which is used as a diuretic

That's probably why, the IOC doesn't like olympic athletes playing with body water balance

Yeah, it's because it's a diuretic. That's all.

Would a goalkeeper benefit from steroids?

Depends on what kind of goalkeeper. In soccer i don't think, but maybe in kayak-polo/canoe-polo..
