The Iditarod has punished three mushers for taking their dogs inside shelter cabins during fierce storms at the tail end of this year's race
FILE - Riley Dyche, a musher from Fairbanks, Alaska, takes his sled dogs through a snowstorm in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, March 5, 2022, during the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. A fierce winter storm in the last stretch of this year's Iditarod that ultimately forced six mushers to scratch the same day now has cost three other mushers for sheltering their dogs instead of leaving them outside in the harsh conditions.
Porsild was dropped from 14th to 17th position, while Phillips dropped one notch to 18th. Dyche wasn’t demoted in the standings, but he was fined $1,000 after officials determined there were no other mushers close to him that would have been affected by the dogs resting inside.The nearly 1,000-mile race across Alaska was won March 15 by Brent Sass, who was also affected by the storm just as he was nearing the finish line in Nome.
She called for cruelty charges be filed against mushers who did leave their dogs outside while they went inside shelter cabins: “Cruelty is baked into this deadly race, and it’s time for it to stop.” Four mushers — Matt Hall, three-time champion Mitch Seavey, Lev Shvarts and former champion Joar Leifseth Ulsom — filed complaints against Porsild and Phillips. Hall and Seavey were each moved up a spot when Porsild and Phillips were demoted, and Shvarts moved up two spots.
