RACING NEWS

THE GAME AGAINST BOCA JUNIORS WAS CANCELLED. THE COPROSEDE A GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION MEANT TO PREVENT VIOLENCE IN SPORTING EVENTS DID NOT ALLOW THEIR POLICE OFFICERS TO WORK SECURITY FOR THE GAME. THE REASON IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CURB VIOLENCE BUT THEY CLASHED WITH THE BUENOS AIRES PROVINCIAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. RACING IS THE ONLY TEAM IN ARGENTINA THAT IMPLEMENTS A ADMITTANCE POLICY. THERE ARE MORE THAN A DOZEN FANS FROM LA GUARDIA IMPERIAL (IMPERIAL GUARD), RACING HARDCORE HOOLIGAN FANS (BARRABRAVA), THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO ENTER THE STADIUM PRESIDENTE PERON BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING CHARGED WITH RAQUETEERING, BEING MEMBERS OF AN ILLICIT ORGANIZATION (ORGANIZED CRIME) AND THE DEATH OF AN INDEPENDIENTE HOOLIGAN IN 2002. THE TRIAL HAS NOT STARTED YET AND ALL ARE AWAITING TRIAL UNDER HOUSE ARREST. FOR THE GAME AGAINST THE TEAM FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIACHUELO, RACING ASKED THE COPROSEDE TO ENFORCE THE NO ADMITTANCE RULE TO SOME OF BOCA TOP MEN IN LA 12. THESE MEN, LEAD BY DIZEO, APPEALED TO A LOCAL COURT. THE LAWYERS FOR LA 12 GAVE THE APPEAL TO A SPECIFIC JUDGE, JUDGE CALVENTE, KNOWING THAT IN THE PAST HE HAD REPEALED THESE KIND OF MEASURES AND THAT HE WAS A BOCA FAN WITH SEASON TICKETS. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL PROCEDURE, APPEALS OF THIS KIND HAVE TO GO THRU A LOTTERY SO A JUDGE IS GIVEN THE APPEAL. SO AFTER HAVING THE APPEAL IN HIS OFFICE FOR A FEW HOURS AND SEEING THAT IT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS BECAUSE IT WAS THE 1ST TIME A TEAM ASKS TO NOT ALLOW VISITING FANS IN THE STADIUM. HE SAID THAT HE CANNOT RULE ON THE APPEAL BECAUSE IT DIDNT GO THRU THE LOTTERY. AFTER THE LOTTERY IT WENT TO ANOTHER JUDGE WHO TURNED AROUND AND GAVE IT BACK TO JUDGE CALVENTE, SAYING THAT HE HAS PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE ON THE APPEAL BECAUSE HE HAS IT FOR A FEW HOURS IN HIS OFFICE. AFTER THE WORKING HOURS WERE DONE HE APPEALED THE MEASURE TO KEEP THE BOCA HOOLIGANS FROM ENTERING THE STADIUM STATING THAT THEY WERE GOOD GUYS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE FANS SHOULD BE SEATED IN A PREFERENTIAL AREA AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE AND WITH 1 POLICE OFFICER GUARDING EACH ONE OF THEM. THIS INFURIATED MR ARSLANIAN, THE HEAD OF SECURITY OF BUENOS AIRES PROVINCE. HE REFUSED TO ALLOW HIS POLICE OFFICERS TO GUARD THE GAME SAYING WHAT JUDGE CALVENTE DID WAS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE THE HOOLIGANS ARE CONVICTED OF VARIOUS VIOLENT EPISODES DURING SPORTING EVENTS AND IF THEY WERE GOOD GUYS WHY SHOULD THEY BE SEPARATED FROM THE REST AND WITH ONE COP PER HOOLIGAN GUARDING THEM?!?!?!

THE GOOD THING IS THAT 2 DAYS LATER ALL TEAMS IN ALL NATIONAL DIVISIONS WILL NOW IMPLEMENT ADMITTANCE POLICY TO THEIR FANS THAT HAVE A COMMITTED VIOLENT CRIMES IN SPORTING EVENTS. THIS IS THE 1ST STEP TO ELIMINATE VIOLENCE IN ARGENTINA S FOOTBALL STADIUMS

THE STADIUM WAS EMPTY ON SUNDAY

THE TEAM PRACTICED OUTSIDE OF THE STADIUM

FANS WERENT HAPPY THAT THE GAME WAS CANCELED BUT THE GOOD THING IS THAT MORALEZ HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO RECOVER IN TIME FOR THE GAME

THE GAME WILL BE PLAYED ON WEDNESDAY AT 5 PM, FANS ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT AT ALL, ESPECIALLY THE ONCES THAT HAD TICKETS FOR LONG DISTANCE BUSES JUST TO GET TO THE GAME
