Four Time Iditarod Winner Dallas Seavey Denounces Iditarod Board Over How They've Handled Positive Drug Tests Of His Dogs
Watch the video tape Seavey posted yourself. The jury's job is to evaluate who is telling the truth and who is not.
Seavey certainly sounds sincere here and the facts, as he presents them, logically raise serious questions. But as a former union grievance rep, I learned long ago there are always facts that my client was leaving out and that I had to reserve judgment until I heard from others involved.
I'd also note that everyone denies the charges. How many years did Lance Armstrong strongly deny the drug charges? And a series of baseball champions denied allegations too, until they finally admitted them.
Those things make it harder for someone who is really innocent. Plus someone does not win four Iditarod races by being timid. I'm sure Seavey has ruffled a few feathers over the years. But at this point, I think the Iditarod board is going to be hard pressed to respond as convincingly.

I ran into this story in the Times and Democrat from Orangeburg, South Carolina, of all places. I didn't realize Iditarod was that widely popular. BTW I am a diptheria survivor from the 1950's.
