I was taught to ask the player, "Are you wearing that for medical reasons?" If they say yes, they wear it. No, they take it off if they want to play.
I've only come across one player who wears it for legitimate medical reasons, and he has an additional elbow pad due to a previous fall. All the others I have questioned have taken it off. We were told not to press the issue.
