The Iditarod released a statement Wednesday stating the Race Marshall Warren Palfrey after convening a panel of three race officials decided that Dallas Seavey had not efficiently gutted the moose after dispatching it Monday morning.
You can read the full press release here.
Seavey is currently 29 miles to Cripple where it is assumed the musher will take his mandatory 24-hour plus differential break. This will now include an extra two hours for the penalty. It is unknown whether Seavey knows about the decision.
This is a developing story.
Hi Toni, great to meet you at the restart! Thanks for providing the updates. I can't believe this happened literally less than a few hours after our conversation about *this exact issue*. Pretty weird coincidence! Hope your pictures came out well too!
