Note: I found the information above on my hard drive, but I can't find a rulebook, or casebook, citation for the section boldfaced in red. Can anybody find a citation that supports that statement?

Well, it wouldn't make sense to charge a T and then say the player can't participate. By definition, IMO, the T is what is allowing that player to participate, plus the fact that further discovered infractions are not penalized.
