Three Tufts University lacrosse players have been hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis, a condition caused by muscle damage, after an intense training session. The players, all members of the women’s team, were participating in a conditioning drill on March 11 when they began experiencing symptoms such as muscle cramps, weakness, and dark urine. Rhabdomyolysis can lead to kidney damage and other complications if left untreated. The team has since canceled practices and is cooperating with university officials to investigate the cause of the incident.
