jewlery question

Ok,

so the kid comes in and says that the string must stay in "for medical reasons", as his doctor says the pierced hole would close up if he didn't leave it in.

i know this sounds stupid, but it is part of the same ole SH## that we hear day in and out.

I know i would tell him he can't play

If you judge it to be jewelry the fact that he says it is for medical reasons is irrelevant unless it is a medical alert bracelet...no provision for "medical reasons" for jewelry other than m.a.b...if you do not judge it to be jewelry (and if there is no local interp saying that it is), then just judge if it is dangerous or confusing....

Players may not participate while wearing jewelry. Religious medals or medical alert medals are not considered jewelry. A religious medal must be taped and worn under the uniform. A medical alert medal must be taped and may be visible. State associations may, on an individual basis, allow a player to participate while wearing a head covering, if it is worn for medical or religious reasons, provided that the covering is not abrasive, hard, or dangerous, and is attached in such a way that it is highly unlikely to come off during play. Written documentation should be available.
