Summary: Five members of the Tufts University men’s lacrosse team have been hospitalized after a workout led by an alum who graduated from a Navy SEAL training program. The players have been diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a dangerous medical condition that can lead to kidney failure, seizures, permanent disability, and even death. As of Friday, five players remain in the hospital, and the university has postponed all team practice activities until each team member has been evaluated and medically cleared to return to participation. The university has launched an investigation and appointed an external, independent investigator to conduct a thorough review of the incident. The alum who led the training recently graduated from the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training program, an intense, monthslong training program for Navy SEAL candidates. The university’s men’s lacrosse team won their fourth NCAA Division III national championship game in May.
