STUNNING ALLEGATIONS ROCK ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ELITE MILITARY UNITS

ANDY FIELD, ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT, WASHINGTON  @andyfielddc

A New York Times report has found a dangerous, and sometimes deadly, training culture with some candidates using performance-enhancing drugs to get an edge. Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL, or BUD/S for short, is notorious for having one of the highest rates of failure in the US military, a grueling mental and physical ordeal that only the most resilient enrollees can withstand -- only 15-30% of recruits who start the program will complete it.  The program has attracted controversy for recent deaths, and the discovery that recruits were using performance-enhancing drugs to face the challenges of SEAL training.  In February, one recruit died and another was hospitalized after Hell Week. US Navy Seaman Kyle Mullen died February 4, and his death was officially listed as bacterial pneumonia — he had been coughing up blood for days, the Times reported.  When the Navy gathered Seaman Mullen’s belongings, they discovered syringes and performance enhancing drugs in his car. The captain in charge of BUD/S immediately ordered an investigation, and soon about 40 candidates had either tested positive or had admitted using steroids or other drugs in violation of Navy regulations.
