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!

ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING

This was posted from Wade Marrs Stump jumpin kennels a few minutes ago. Thought I'd share! I am truly stunned by the blatant strong arm tactic taken by this Dr.

That's insanity. Sounds like the Dr in question is used to bullying tactics, and people caving under them. Apparently not working in this case. Go Wade!

To be fair to ITC, they didn't have any control over the guy so I can only hope that they will sever any ties with him effective immediately - or risk further disallusionment.

Iditarod just responded to our questions on Wade Marrs’ accusations against drug-testing director Morrie Craig. Will he be disciplined? TBD, race says.

They need to get their act together on drug testing. Comment was there was a trace. Did many many drug tests when I was working. False positives do happen. We always sent positives for further testing. They are probably using a type of “dip stick” to test. Definitely not the last word. If they are going to do drug testing DO IT RIGHT and out on the trail do chain of custody. This is too important to screw it up

Ah, I just realised if the ITC axe this Dr, then it'll bring the whole of their drug testing program into question (regardless as to if it's already in question or not :) ), so they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

The guy's a slime, either way. Regardless of if there was a positive/trace test, the blackmail aspect of "if you don't stop causing trouble from the IOFC, I'll release these results" is unconscionable.

google Dr. Morrie Craig.

Not exactly a paragon of virtue, nor really in a position to be attempting blackmail.


sheesh. All I wanted was a good sled dog race, not a soap opera.

At least it doesn't seem to be affecting his race.
