Information
has gloss	eng: The Blood rule is a rule used in many sports that states that an athlete that somehow gets a bleeding and/or non-bleeding open wound, is bleeding in any way, shape, or form, or who has blood on them or their clothes, must immediately get off the playing area to receive medical attention. Though they may be able to play again later, they cannot go back and play again until the would is taken care of, bleeding has stopped, and all contaminated equipment has been replaced.

Some sports where this is used are Australian Rules Football , as well as all major sports leagues like the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, Major League Soccer, National Football League, and Union of European Football Associations.
