was gregor clegane a legal champion ?

Was Gregor Clegane a legal champion for Cersei in Tyrion's trial by battle in ASOS ?
In AFFC we learn that a queen must use a knight of the kingsguard as a champion in case of a trial by battle. But in ASOS, Cersei name Gregor Clegane as her champion.
Was it legal ? I mean Cersei is the accuser in this case and a queen, shouldn't her champion also be a knight of the kingsguard in Tyrion's trial ?
I'm a little bit confused, if someone could clear that up for me that would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Hi Jaqen...
Good question. I wish I had an answer for you. My own question is the following.
We all remember how Loras Tyrell unhorsed the Mountain and his response was so "unsportsman" that his rage had to be ultimately stopped by the king himself.
This leads me to a question: How is it possible that Sir Gregor was allowed to participate in tourneys? If this was a response to losing a joust, how was anyone supposed to survive a meele with him?
Was he somehow held on a leash or was he allowed to kill? I know accidents happen (Oberyn vs Willas Tyrell) but everyone knows that Clegane is going all the way in a fight, tourney or not.
What do you think? Was he told by Tywin to stay away from tourneys or did miraculously keep his calm?

From the example of the Hound killing Myca the butcher's boy and various other examples from the war, lords, knights and men-at-arts in Westeros can do some terrible things to one another and to other folk under their power and get away with it unless they really piss off someone powerful.
Also, in Westeros tourneys are held for the spectacle and because they draw big crowds and bring revenue to kings and lords. It'd be hard to refuse the participation of the biggest, most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms if you want your tourney to draw people's attention and entertain you.
