USF Ex-Coach Taggart trying to whip Oregon into shape...multiple players hospitalized
http://www.espn.com/college-football/sto...g-workouts

Three Oregon football players were hospitalized "after enduring a series of grueling strength and conditioning workouts at UO last week," according to an Oregonian report.

Offensive lineman Doug Brenner, tight end Cam McCormick and offensive lineman Sam Poutasi are patients at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield, Oregon, the hospital confirmed to ESPN.com.

"The safety and welfare of all of our student-athletes is paramount in all that we do," Oregon said in a news release.

"While we cannot comment on the health of our individual students, we have implemented modifications as we transition back into full training to prevent further occurrences. We thank our medical staff and trainers for their continued monitoring of the students and we will continue to support our young men as they recover. "

The Oregonian's report cited Poutasi's mother, who said her son had been diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition in which skeletal muscle tissue is rapidly broken down and products of that process are released into the bloodstream.

Depending on the severity, this can be harmful to the kidneys and may lead to kidney failure, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Multiple sources described the workouts to the Oregonian as "akin to military basic training, with one said to include up to an hour of continuous pushups and up-downs."

At least three Oregon Ducks football players were hospitalized after enduring a series of grueling strength and conditioning workouts at UO last week, The Oregonian/OregonLive has learned.

Offensive linemen Doug Brenner and Sam Poutasi and tight end Cam McCormick are in fair condition and remained at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend in Springfield on Monday, a hospital spokeswoman said. They have been in the hospital since late last week after workouts that occurred during the team's return from holiday break.

Poutasi's mother, Oloka, said that her son complained of very sore arms after the workouts and had been diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a syndrome in which soft muscle tissue is broken down with "leakage into the blood stream of muscle contents," according to the NCAA medical handbook. Depending on the severity, it has the potential to lead to damaged kidneys.

Whoever is behind this should be fired, nothing to do with football. Where's @NCAA? How about protecting athletes instead of your paychecks!

I know S&C training is supposed to be tough, but if multiple collegiate athletes are getting hospitalized you're doing something wrong.
