Topic Dog Boards / Showing / Double handling

I was at a show today watching and i hope that somebody can clear this up for me.
First of all , a lady walked in the ring with her dog after the class was held up for 20 mins while she finished her lunch and set up her dog, then it came to her show time and someone else came in the ring to run it for her, i thought fair enough , then when it came to the end of it's run both ladys then were in the ring to set the dog up for final inspection before the next dogs turn, then both ladys stayed in the ring and both set up dog, one at the front , one at the back and both stood there showing the dog off, then the judge called both ladies by there first names and they won the class BOB , RBOB and BP.
now i know both of these ladys and neither of them is disabled or incapible of showing a dog.
How can anyone do that , everyone else that was there all complained and was told that if the judge says that it is ok then thats the end of it.
Surley there is something in the KC rules that states, that can't be right.

Please clear this up for me as we all feel a bit hard done by today.

Think if you ask the judge if someone can move the dog for you and they agree then that is that, don't think there is anything that says the second handler has to leave the ring either but surprised they both tried to set the dog up would have thought it would have been more a confusion than a help. Bit puzzled how they won BOB, RBOB and BP with one dog.
