It is quite strange. One would think a judge would easily throw this out.

I mean there is probably not a specific rule I could point to that a high school athlete couldn't ride a bike or a motorcycle in a 400m track run either.

There is probably not a specific rule that you can't shoot the shot put out of a canon either.

I would just assume the judges have the slightest bit of common sense.

There most definitely is such a rule, and there most definitely are people who have tried to do that - and been the cause of the original rule wording ; and others who still have tried to do so by "creatively interpreting" said rule.

Have you met humans?
