12 University of Iowa Football Players Hospitalized for Rhabdomyolysis
12 football players from the University of Iowa were taken to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC), but the University will not say why. Sportswriter Marc Morehouse wrote that the players were suffering from Rhabdomyolysis,which is a rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue.
The identities of the hospitalized Hawkeyes have also been withheld. a press release from the University of Iowa said that the players "were responding well to treatment", but would not say what that treatment was.
The school says it's not clear when the players will be discharged.
A school spokesman, Steve Roe, says privacy laws prevent further comment.
"The student-athletes were admitted throughout the course of Monday evening. All of the individuals are responding well to treatment as of Tuesday morning. All are in safe and stable condition. At this time we are not sure when any of the individuals will be discharged. Hospital discharge will be on a case by case basis."
