In a statement released by his kennel Tuesday, musher Wade Marrs claimed Craig threatened to reveal him as a second musher whose dogs tested positive for a banned substance last year. The statement from Marrs' kennel claims Craig approached the musher just 30 minutes before the race began Sunday in Willow, Alaska. "This was very ill-timed, it was right before Wade was getting ready to leave Willow and move on up the trail," St. George said. Stan Hooley, chief executive of the Iditarod, spoke with Marrs Tuesday at a checkpoint 300 miles into the race, but St. George didn't have details of the conversation. "What interaction he had with Wade went beyond that," St. George said.
