The training program for Navy SEALs is plagued by widespread failures in medical care, poor oversight and the use of performance-enhancing drugs that have increased the risk of injury and death to those seeking to become elite commandos, according to an investigation triggered by the death of a sailor last year.Medical oversight and care were "poorly organised, poorly integrated and poorly led and put candidates at significant risk," the nearly 200-page report compiled by the Naval Education and Training Command concluded.The highly critical report said flaws in the medical program "likely had the most direct impact on the health and well being" of the SEAL candidates and "specifically" on Kyle Mullen, the sailor who died.
