Iditarod Dog Doping Scandal

Positive drug tests hit the sport of dogsledding

Dogsledding has joined the sports of track and field, baseball and cycling in the world of doping scandals. Four dogs from one team in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race tested positive for the banned substance Tramadol, an opioid painkiller. The competitor whose dogs tested positive after the race in March 2017 was not initially named. Then, a couple of days ago, the governing board of the race announced that it was second-place finisher (and four-time winner) Dallas Seavey.
