TO other ninja who don't have those it's cheating, but they suck it up and do their best, same in this situation it's a weapon, and he can use it. Kiba and Akamaru used Military ration pills in their match too... It is nothing like puppets because one needs special training and skill to wield it and as for sharingan it is a genetic ability, not an external tool. But the one Bolt used was an external tool which do not need any special training or skill to wield, and as Matthew100x mentioned the tournament was meant to test the combatants skill of the candidates in order to see if they're good enough for the promotion.
