It seems to me the problem is addressed in the rules -
Quote:
Rule 6
Section 6. FOREIGN SUBSTANCE/PROTECTIVE WRAPS.
A. A defensive player shall not at any time during the game be allowed to use
any foreign substance upon the ball.

The problem is the manufacturer's (false?) claim that their product does not transfer to the ball. If other rules bodies choose to allow this particular foreign substance to be used, that is their business. But in ASA, if you judge the product to transfer to the ball, it is illegal.
