Neff was out running dogs on Friday, Dec. 2 when he received an email from the Iditarod informing him that his application had been rejected based on his performance in the 2022 race.
“It just a very simple process — you’re either accepted or not accepted — and it has been communicated to that individual musher,” said Iditarod CEO Rob Urbach.
“It is really about putting our north star — which is exemplary dog care — and if a musher doesn’t meet our standards, then they’re just not going to be running the Iditarod in this particular year,” Urbach said. “ It doesn’t mean they can’t run in the future if the review board determines that there has been a change in the mentality, or the treatment, or the culture of the treatment and the care for those dogs.
“I want to be a part of a team, a family that wants me there, and obviously they don’t want me there. I don’t think they wanted me there last year and I’m not sure — they want to blame it on dog care, but I don’t think it’s about that,” Neff said. The Iditarod says that while Neff won’t be allowed to race in 2023, he can apply for the 2024 race and the Qualifying Review Board will look at his application the same way they look at everyone’s.
