A foreign substance was found by California State Athletic Commission staff in the hand wraps of Antonio Margarito before his bout against Shane Mosley at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The substance found in Margarito’s hand wraps is currently being analyzed by the California Department of Justice. An investigation as to whether either licensee violated CSAC rules is ongoing. Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo have been asked to appear at an initial hearing scheduled for February 10, 2009.”
“The licenses of Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo were suspended pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 18842, which allows for the temporary suspension of a license when such an action is necessary to ‘protect the public welfare.’ CSAC Rule 323 limits the amount and type of gauze and tape allowed under a fighter’s boxing glove. Rule 390 allows CSAC to discipline a licensee when his or her actions are a “discredit to boxing” or violate the rules of CSAC.
“Commission staff will have no further comment until such time as the Commission makes a final determination of whether licensee actions in this case warrant fines, suspensions, or the revocation of licenses. The Commission has asked Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo to appear at an initial hearing currently scheduled for February 10, 2009.”

if Margaritos is found guilty then let him rot in whatever punishment is given...if he is not suspend Nazim Richardson and make sure he issues a public apology to Margarito and his trainer.
Why da hell should Nazim Richardson get suspended & have to issue a public apology, that's some bullshit. Whatever was there was something that he as an opposing trainer wasn't happy with & everyone seems to accept he was within his rights to object to it & if he feels they were using illegal substances he ain't got to apologize for shit, even if Margarito is cleared of wrongdoing, because his concern is the safety of is fighter.
Funny how Richardson is the only trainer to have seen this mysterious substance in the last 20 years. Life I wrote in my other thread this MAY have been a ploy by Ricahrdson to throw off Margarito's whole corner...now he's suspended, his trainer is suspended, and his reputation is taking a beating.

Not a fair shake if this wasnt true.
