“The sanction has been excessive”

Leonel Pernía will appeal the two -year sanction that the ActC Advisor and Supervisory Commission (CAF) applied Wednesday for insulting the leadership during a streaming in December last year after the definition of national tourism. Through a statement, he explained: “I assume the consequences of what happened with fortitude. But with the team we sincerely believe that the sanction of the CAF has been excessive, and for that reason we will begin the corresponding process to appeal within the expected institutional channels, with respect, hope and the desire to be heard,”.

This emphasis to be heard, surely, is related to the orders of public and private apologies that the 49 -year -old pilot, one of the most prominent in the country, made in these months since that “The coffee sucks my cock (sic)” which gave on December 13, a few days after being sanctioned for grabbing Andrés Jankos in the neck in the pre -final of the TN in Trelew.

“Deeply regret the situation that has been generated around the sanction published by the Actc Advisory and Supervisory Commission (CAF). I have already apologized publicly for what motivated this decision and today I reiterate them with the same sincerity and responsibility. I assume the consequences of what happened with strength. This episode does not reflect the values ​​with which I transit all my sports career, or respect that I have for this activity “remarked 24 hours after receiving the aforementioned sports fine and another economy of 30 million pesos.

In the text that uploaded to social networks, Tano Pernía was responsible for clarifying his followers that the two -year sanction “Apply only to the categories supervised by ACTC”so it will continue to “compete with total sports commitment and responsibility in the official Honda team within the TC2000 category and TCR South America.”

“I deeply thank my family, my team, the sponsors and all who have accompanied me with respect and confidence”He added, in reference to the messages of his son Thiago and his brother Mariano, both pilots. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Looking forward always,” he wrote who was also a footballer in a story that went up to Instagram.

Leonel Pernía, who avoided giving interviews and limited the statement, stressed: this situation does not define who I am. What defines me is work, perseverance and the path traveled. And, once again, to whom they have felt disappointed, I apologize with heart and honesty. “

What had happened that weekend of the TN Coronation Grand Prix? On Sunday, December 8, the problems began on the track, with a pernía that was fighting the championship, tried to win a position outside and received a very strong top of Andy somehow That made him lose a lot of land.

Hot for the maneuver, the brand new champion of the TC2000 went to look for his rival, grabbed him by the neck of the anti -flame diver and shot: “AYes it does not run, asshole. So you don’t run, did you hear me? Because that way you ruin my championship. Everything I fought in the year you ruin it with a maneuver of bad milk, Because you are a bad milk“.

Quieter, Pernía said that “We wanted to sell the 1 Caro and this kid ruined everything, it is confused about how you have to run.” and Jakos, who “It’s a shame, but I have nothing more to say”. Perhaps it would have been there, but then the sports commissioners decided to exclude the Tano from the series for unsportsmanlike conduct – his rival was penalized by the controversy maneuver – and exploded again.

“There are all running parameters. This ceased to be a sport of men, it began to be one of fags. They sanction me to tell him that it is a bad milk … I confirm more of the same, that all year they shook me with everything they had. Nothing happens, the one above sees everything and that gives me peace of mind “the 49 -year -old pilot released upon learning of the sanction, which was only the first in five days.

The next came after the pilot’s participation in the streaming folding Radio, where he launched: “The coffee sucks my cock”. The drivers quickly told him that he was on the air but repeated: “That the cock sucks me well.”

A few hours later, through a statement, the CAF argued that “having learned of the declaration made in a journalistic environment”, the sanction of provisional suspension was applied to “Leonel Pernía, for using inappropriate and offensive terms towards the members of the Advisory and Supervisory Commission, violating chapter VII inc. 07-15 of the ACTC RDA”.

Four months later, the provisional sanction became a permanent and very hard. In the statement of the CAF 20/2025, published on Wednesday night, it was reported in point 1 that was applied to the pilot Leonel Pernía, the sanction of 2 years of suspension from the day of the date of April 23, 2025, being its fulfillment on April 26, 2027, with the prohibition of competing in any of the categories controlled by the ACTC. “

Likewise, they added “the fine of 30,000,000 pesos (thirty million), which must be deposited on account and order of the ACTC within 30 days of notified, to the Favaloro Foundation, communicating compliance with it to the Department Deportivo Actc.”
