Could be. If they were having awesome runs and going their fastest then i would think it’s something else, not health related.
As a RM and RJ myself then the other thing could be, scratch or we with draw you. It’s better for the musher to scratch rather than be withdrawn. His statement to me says i aint happy about scratching when i was doing so well, so i’ll say it was in the best interest of my team but also there is another reason i am not happy about and don’t want to discuss. I have seen that line/tone before when i have had to give someone that option before taking it away and having to dsq or withdraw. Think like this. Scratch is better than a withdraw which is better than a dsq. To me this says the RM made that choice for him. I have an idea why/what reason as i’ve had to use it on a musher for that exact reason in the past in races in uk, italy and latvia but as we don’t know for sure then I won’t suggest it as it’s not fair on rick to suggest thats why. That’s also a reason for his comments and the possible RM’s options to him.
