FULL TITLE: 'I have done absolutely nothing wrong': Four-time Iditarod winner speaks out after being accused of DOPING his dogs in preparation for the annual long-distance sled race
Four-time Iditarod champion Dallas Seavey denied Monday that he administered banned drugs to his dogs in this year's race and said he has withdrawn from the 2018 race in protest over the allegations.
'I have never given any banned substance to my dogs,' Seavey said in a video posted to his Facebook page.
He didn't immediately return calls to The Associated Press after the Iditarod Trail Committee identified him as the musher who had four dogs test positive for a banned opioid pain reliever after finishing the race last March in Nome.
Seavey said he fully expected the committee to ban him from the race for speaking out. There's a so-called gag rule preventing mushers from making statements critical of the race or sponsors.

If I know I'm innocent I'd say "come test my dogs anytime" but I'm racing.

“Withdrawn in protest.” Lol.
Thank You for the Ping Morgana.

This guy needs a year in prison to account for himself. Bad decision making.

Is this about the Madonna Invitational Sled Dog Race?........................
‘’I have never given any banned substance to my dogs,’’
“It’s the dogs, they Ran with the wrong Pack.”
“At first, I thought they were going through a phase and the next thing I knew, they were Veterinarian Shopping and then searching the Bark Web for drugs.”
I wonder if Michael Vick ever “juiced” his dogs, I mean if dog fighting is already illegal, he probably went all the way.
Nice.
(Of course up there she'd be just one of the bitches.)
LOL
I used to be a big supporter of that bicycle racer guy - until he confessed to doing this and having an elaborate scheme of blood transfusions...
Disgusting pieces of $h!t ruined my faith in a lot of things... I was so sure he was not ding anything.
“I have never given any banned substance to my dogs,
Its the dogs, they Ran with the wrong Pack.
At first, I thought they were going through a phase and the next thing I knew, they were Veterinarian Shopping and then searching the Bark Web for drugs.

Yea this is why you never eat while reading FR

Why they didn’t test him at first will never know.
The I-Did-A-Rod Race.............
He was ‘Blood Doping’, using your own red blood cells taken weeks in advance, then just before the race reinserting them into yourself.
Gives more oxygen and thus longer stamina.
there was no test for it then. Now there is...............
It was some sort of anti inflammatory I believe.
They tested him all the time- that was why he was so believable... but he had a very complex blood exchanging scheme in place.
They would give themselves a whole blood transfusion - changing 100% of his blod.
Where you get that much blood should be questioned. I imagine you have to have enough to completely drain you an make sure only fresh blood goes in.
First of all that is a heck of a process just to cheat.
It’s very expensive and takes out a blood bank. Unless they were cleaning his blood somehow and putting it back in his body kinda on a kidney dialysis machine.
