Thanks for any clarification.
From my experience - yes, you can. In order to do so you need to visit a check-in desk and get the printed boarding pass with "FAST TRACK" stamp. Otherwise they won't let you in through the fast track.

I had to take them through slow track.
Speaking Spanish cut no ice either..I was less than chuffed.
Security in MAD is very strict in requiring a "FAST TRACK" sign on your boarding pass - whenever traveling on IB flight as OWE I get no "fast track", so visit to the check-in desk is required to get the damn stamp.
It amuses me that modern airport like MAD can't get it done through automatic check of status/ticketing class. I was once sent back to the check in traveling in Iberia's business...
