Yes but because Tevez didn't come on. He investigated the situation by refusing to play, which is a bad action for him to take and a breach of his contract. Pendev made a request to be transfered which, for some reason, enraged the President of Lazio who then ordered he not play or train with the first team.
I don't think a rule was added. That contract was nulled by a court ruling. It's very difficult to see a rule that allows you to leave for free if you play less than 10%, reverse team players and injured ones could be off quite easily...
