Maybe the new rule just emphasized it more or made it to make the punishments harsher, but it was definitely against the rules even then.
Trust me on this.
The rule stated only the HC could enter the field, but it was an unwritten rule that it could be ignored when players were injured. That is where the Porter Rule came in. It's illegal and to be enforced now, period.
