I absolutely agree. IANAL (I work for a living), but I do not want the responsibility (and liability) of knowing about a medical condition. If a player has a medical condition that makes it unsafe for them to participate under "normal" adherence to the rules, then that player should not be participating.

That's not my call - it's the player's parents call.
