NewNCref. You are "reading" into the rule a misinterpretation.
I referee NCAA Soccer in addition to refereeing HS basketball. In NCAA soccer you may not continue to play with a "bleeding" injury. It is included in the list of DFK offenses to allow for a situation where inadvertent contact had resulted in a player bleeding, play having not yet been stopped to deal with the bleeding and the player then using the blood "improperly". This list inclusion, allows the referee to sanction the behavior as a foul and award a DFK to the opponents. Without it being so listed the only action available to the referee would be to issue a caution the the offender and restart with an IDFk.
