An investigation into a workout session for the Tufts University men's lacrosse team found that a Navy SEAL trainer was unqualified and not properly vetted. While the workout was approved by a director of sports performance, it lacked oversight from other athletic department members, leading to an intense session that caused 24 out of 61 students to suffer from exertional rhabdomyolysis. Recommendations included stricter credential requirements for guest trainers to prevent similar incidents.
