[Dragon Ball] how is the weighted clothing goku and piccolo wear legal?

Although it does make them slower and they aren't able to hit as hard, it also makes them difficult to move and lift. Considering a huge part of the competition is ringouts, it would make throwing or pushing an opponent out of boundaries harder. There's a difference between gaining weight and artificially increasing one's weight. Now one can say that the added weight is negligible when it comes to z fighters but the competition isn't made for solely them. Both of them should've been technically disqualified.

I suspect it's just one of those things that are legal because there isn't a rule against it, and there probably isn't a rule against it because none of the organizers took into account that competitors would *want* to wear performance *debilitating* gear in a tournament against the best of the best - for the vast majority of competitors, if it's heavy enough to give you that much of an edge against ring outs, it's also going to be more of handicap than it's worth

That'd only be relevant if the tournament had weight classes, which they clearly don't have seeing as kid Goku fought *a fucking dinosaur*
