WASILLA, ALASKA – Iditarod Trail Committee President, Richard Burmeister announced this afternoon that the ongoing independent investigation surrounding allegations that Ramy Brooks abused members of his team in Golovin on March 15, 2007 is not yet complete.

The investigation is being conducted by the Anchorage law firm of Davis Wright Tremaine. Investigators said that efforts to conduct the investigation via telephone have not been as successful as hoped. They are making plans to travel to Golovin early next week in order to conduct interviews within the community.

Once the investigation findings are gathered the Iditarod Trail Committee Board of Directors will likely call for a special meeting to fully consider the matter. The Board is hopeful that that meeting can take place at some point in the not to distant future.

Other than an update from the investigation team, the board of directors will not be taking up the matter at tomorrows meeting.
