Iditarod racing is a professional sport. So, mushers need to act like professionals.  When you find out a musher is abusing dogs, you need to break the story.  If you find out a musher is abusing people, you need to break the story.  Medred is doing a good job at journalism and making the Iditarod act like a professional sport.  If the Iditarod establishment has a problem with Medred breaking a story about them that should be known, then there is a big ethical problem with the Iditarod establishment.  But of course, we already knew there was a problem with the ITC and race marshall Nordman.  It showed up loud and clear with Nordman's "gag order" to Iditarod mushers ... don't say anything negative about the Iditarod (even if everyone knows that a musher has been beating a woman and broke her arm).
