Tufts Lacrosse Players Released After Hospitalization

All Tufts University men’s lacrosse players who were hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis following a workout led by a Navy SEAL graduate have been released. The intense 45-minute workout on September 16 involved approximately 50 players, with 12 diagnosed with the condition, which can lead to kidney damage and potential death. The university has launched an independent investigation to understand the incident and prevent future occurrences. Despite some players being medically cleared to resume training, all team practices are on hold pending further authorization. Tufts officials have expressed gratitude for the team’s resilience and the support from families. Expert opinions suggest the condition was caused by extreme exertion during the workout.
