PBR Star Dalton Kasel Suspended Indefinitely for Code of Conduct Violation
Colorado Springs, CO – July 21, 2025
In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) community, Dalton Kasel has been suspended indefinitely for violating the league’s Code of Conduct, the organization announced Monday.
Kasel, currently ranked No. 1 in the Unleash The Beast (UTB) standings and a five-time event winner this season, will be barred from competition effective immediately pending further investigation.
In a brief statement, the PBR said:
“Dalton Kasel has been suspended indefinitely due to a violation of the PBR’s Code of Conduct. We are committed to upholding the integrity and standards of our sport, and all athletes are held accountable to those expectations. No further comment will be made at this time.”
Details surrounding the alleged violation have not been publicly disclosed, and Kasel has yet to issue a statement. His management team, when reached for comment, said they are “cooperating fully with PBR officials” and hope for “a fair and swift resolution.”
The suspension comes at a pivotal point in the season, with Kasel seen as the frontrunner for the 2025 PBR World Championship. His absence from the arena leaves a significant void and opens the door for rivals like José Vitor Leme and Kaique Pacheco to climb the standings.
Fans have taken to social media expressing shock and disappointment, while others have voiced support for the 25-year-old Texas native, urging due process.
As the PBR continues its investigation, the future of one of bull riding’s brightest stars now hangs in the balance.
