I hate when people make stuff up that isn't in the rules....even more so when it is an organization with influence like this.
There is nothing in Rule 9-1-3d that even remotely supports their conclusion. It only establishes restrictions on entering or leaving a marked lane space and when those restrictions end. It makes no mention of additional restrictions that are in place after a player is legally allowed to leave his/her lane space (on the release). Thus, it is legal for them to enter the semi-circle.
