And the hits just keep coming ; One winner smokes dope on the trail and gets busted for pot on him at the airport :  dogs are doped up and other's are suspected of doing it : dogs are abused on the trail : dogs die on the trail :  when a long time sponsor decides to spend their ad money someplace else they are attacked like by a pack of rabid dogs ; and prize money is dropping.The pathetic part about the Iditarod is they're code of silence---refusing to name the musher involved in the dog doping . Even worse are the Iditarod supporters----so what they say if a musher is smoking dope and gets busted at the airport--and now--so what if a guy liberates another mushers kennels . So what if charges are filed against the guy . Because he has a big name how dare police charge him. And so what if dogs die year after year after year because mushers use them to win prize money and a new Dodge pickup.  I'd never buy any car or truck or product from a company that sponsors this dog killing race.
