ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Joar Ulsom’s dreams of making it big in the dog-mushing world started small. The dogs and equipment got bigger and better until he finally captured the biggest prize in the sport on Wednesday. The 31-year-old became the third person born outside the United States to win the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race that spans nearly 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometres) over rugged Alaska terrain. Officials didn’t punish Seavey but changed race rules to make mushers responsible for any positive drug test. Musher Wade Marrs said Craig threatened to expose him as another musher who had a positive drug test last year.
