Many doctors have no clue what is involved in competitive cheer and would clear athletes thinking they are doing sideline cheer type activities.It's a very silly catch-all rule. A coach or governing body shouldn't be able to overrule a doctor. I get that USASF has safety rules (although let's be real, they let teams compete on a soaking floor), but if a doctor clears an athlete to perform, then that should be the ruling.
