If ANYTHING dangerous or illegal was found in his gloves they just wouldn't make him rewrap they would stop the fight, ban Margarito and probably take criminal action against him and his training team. He'd and his entire team would be thrown out of boxing for life.

It would be like catching Usain Bolt in a toilet prior to his 100 meter race with needle that he's about to stick in his ass, career over, bye bye.

They also wrapped his gloves three times. Presumably wraps two and three were under close observation. Are we really expected to believe in the full view of the opposing trainer and referee they attempted to slip something in again the second time only to be told ' Now now! Take that out we told you once already!' and Tony's team are like relucantly sighing 'Ok.......'

It's a non story imo.
Its a different situation, you can take the drugs out of the person's system if they are on steriods, but the glove thing is an easy thing to fix, IMO its ignorant to think they would make Margarito re-wrap himself 3 times if there wasn't a problem, and it wasn't just Richardson, but others that got involved. We don't really know exactly what happened, but there is no evidence that has been brought forth that contradicts Margarito having some plaster like substance in his wraps.
