5 members of Tufts men’s lacrosse team still hospitalized after workout with Navy SEAL training program graduate

MEDFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - Five members of the Tufts men’s lacrosse team were still hospitalized as of Friday afternoon, days after student athletes participated in a workout with a recent graduate of a Navy SEAL training program, a university spokesperson said.

The voluntary supervised workout happened on Monday and lasted 45 minutes. A Tufts alumnus who recently completed the BUD/S Navy SEAL program led the workout, according to Tufts Executive Director of Media Relations Patrick Collins.

Collins said 12 members of the team were diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis after the workout. Also known as “rhabdo”, rhabdomyolysis happens when damaged muscle tissue releases its contents into the bloodstream, as described by the Centers of Disease Control.

Rhabdomyolysis is often the result of overexertion and can be life-threatening.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This certainly says volumes about SEAL training. :yowsa:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
This is from a 45 minute workout?

Something doesn't sound quite right ...

I know SEALs are in great shape, but serious muscle damage to Lacrosse players seems odd.
I guess it depends on the workout.   :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
