Furman Ball:  He did exactly that (coattail onto the Dallas Seavey situation), Read his comments on how he has decided to drop out because of the current 'politics' taking over the sport.  Since I could already taste the 'whine,' I sliced up TWO blocks of cheese to go with it.  Once race officials confirm they told him he could take the two (or 4) busted up kennels, as long as they were repaired to flyable condition, and the charges are then dropped, most likely the sponsor will come back.  After all, the Iditarod is a great race to sponsor and use for advertising.
