Alaska's Iditarod race, the world's most famous sled dog race, has been embroiled in controversy over allegations of violence against women. The Iditarod Trail Committee recently disqualified two top mushers, sparking a wave of upheaval within the mushing community.
Last week, the committee sent an email to all competitors addressing accusations of violence and abuse of women within the mushing community. The committee emphasized a zero-tolerance policy towards such conduct by anyone affiliated with the Iditarod.
