There is probably a moral element to consider as well as principles, and personally I wouldn't bother, but given the recent Bielsa furore at Leeds, and the 'do whatever it takes to win' professional football mentality as exists, it made me wonder.
There's probably some vague and broad clause that covers it like "clubs must act in good faith towards each other". Besides, do they even have that regulation saying that loanees can't play against their parent club in UEFA competition?
