Whip sanctions that drag out for weeks in pointing sector are not proportionate

From an integrity perspective, the link between point-to-pointing and racing on the track has long been closely aligned.

Many rule changes originated in the points sphere before then being applied to the track, while others rules found their way to the pointing fields having originally been introduced on the track.

Some transfer smoothly from one sphere to the other, however others can require a little tweaking to ensure they are fair and appropriate in the context of the different disciplines.
