A dozen Tufts University men's lacrosse players have been diagnosed with a rare muscle injury known as rhabdomyolysis after a supervised workout, raising concerns about athlete safety.
Five players remain hospitalized after experiencing rhabdomyolysis, a condition caused by muscle breakdown from excessive exercise, which the university is investigating to enhance safety measures.
The university will appoint an independent investigator to swiftly review the circumstances that led to the injuries, ensuring all student athletes' safety.
The serious nature of rhabdomyolysis prompted the postponement of team practices, reflecting the university's commitment to athlete health and safety in the wake of the injuries.
