109. Instead of applying the Player Policies, Vincent punished Brady pursuant to, and for being generally aware of, violations of the Competitive Integrity Policy, which like the Equipment Policy-is only incorporated into the Game Operations Manual and provided only to teams and team executives. Indeed, the Award specifically acknowledges that this Policy "imposes certification and reporting requirements on clubs and senior club executives."
110. Accordingly, Brady testified that he has no recollection of ever seeing or receiving the Competitive Integrity Policy. Id. 98:8-99:15 (Brady). And, although the Wells Report states on its face that the investigation was conducted pursuant to the Competitive Integityy Policy (NFLPA Ex. 7, Wells Report at l), there is no evidence that Wells bothered to investigated whether the Competitive Integrity Policy was given to players.
