True or False: A Skater who is bleeding may return to play.

A skater who is bleeding is not permitted to return to play. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of all participants. Bleeding can pose a health risk, both to the individual skater and to others on the track, as it may involve exposure to bloodborne pathogens. It is crucial for maintaining a safe sporting environment that skaters are cleared of any injuries, including bleeding, before they can resume play.

While there may be situations in which specific conditions are assessed, such as stopping the bleeding or the referee's judgment, the fundamental rule is that a skater is not allowed to continue competing until any bleeding has been properly addressed and they are deemed fit to return. This policy is aimed at ensuring the health of all players and maintaining the integrity of the game.
