And within your analogy, it's more like the cop told him not to speed, saw him speeding, and then waited a year to write the ticket because he was working on a murder case at the time.

Actually, I feel like both of your analogies miss the point. It's a lot more like this:
Cops tell you not to speed. Then, the state lifts the law against speeding. Cop says, "That law's coming back so you be careful." You speed like a mad man during the time that there is no law. The state reinstates the law. Cop tries to arrest you for speeding while there was no law.
Unfortunately, that's not really how rules or laws work. There is no way that there is a justification for the punishment being levied against the Skins in this case. There's no way a team should be punished for breaking an imaginary rule.
