ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Here's ITC release: https://d3r6t1k4mqz5i.cloudfront.net/wp ... pdf?x14076
Which includes:
Because this is a personnel matter, the ITC is unable to provide any additional information or comments on this matter.

At least they responded and during the race at that. I wouldn't have been surprised if they had waited until after the race was long over before releasing any information or decisions about this. Yes, this might just be a face-saving move, but it's more than we've seen in the past.
