    La fusta, siempre la fusta... i hay un debate últimamente recurrente entre los afi cionados, ese puede ser cómo y con qué severidad se debe sancionar el uso de la fusta. Que si multas económicas, que si puesta Sa pie, que si distanciamiento… Pues yo (opinión entre poco y nada popular, lo sé) soy partidario del distanciamiento. Siempre. Lo primero que quiero explicar es que yo soy muy poco partidario de la aplicación de los distanciamientos como medida punitiva, ya que dentro de la tabla de sanciones creo que debe ser la absoluta excepción. ¿Y porque este caso sí? Entre otras cosas, porque es una medida objetiva. Los fustazos se pueden contar, no hay que apreciaciones de si molesta lo sufi ciente, poco o demasiado. Y es que junto con las sanciones de peso son de las pocas infracciones que pueden ser tasadas cuantitativamente. “Hombre, ponerle a pie por haberse excedido con la fusta peleando un Gran Premio me parece exagerado…” Nunca he entendido esa apreciación. Si vulnera el código, lo vulnera, en un Gran Premio o en una tercera parte de las nocturnas. No creo que se pueda hacer una tabla de sanciones dependiendo de la categoría de la carrera. Según esa regla de tres, si es favorito en taquillas, pues también serviría de atenuante. O si el preparador está muy necesitado, o si la cuadra lleva un ecart brutal, y así hasta la reducción al absurdo. El Código de Carreras es nuestra Tabla de la Ley, y si ese atenuante no está refl ejado, simplemente no existe. “Pero si solo se ha excedido en un fustazo”.
