Margarito Suspended !!!Trainer Javier Capetillo also suspended

[kingfrnk]

Following is a statement by Tim Noonan, Chairman of the California Athletic Commission, regarding Antonio Margarito:
“The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has temporarily suspended the licenses of Antonio Margarito and his chief corner man, Javier Capetillo. The temporary suspension will remain in effect until CSAC has fully investigated the circumstances surrounding events at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 24, 2009. 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.

apology for what?? Nazim doesnt do that to everybody so far he has only done it to Tito and Margarito. its obvious something was up he had to wrap his hand 3 fukkin times.

apology for what?? Nazim doesnt do that to everybody so far he has only done it to Tito and Margarito. its obvious something was up he had to wrap his hand 3 fukkin times.

Surprisingly the two fighters he suspected were coincidentally fighters that could have on any given day beaten his fighter. Tito was favored to beat B-Hop and likewise was Margo.

as far as the wraps, the reason they were rewrapped three times was not because of this plaster stuff, this is from Ring Magazine's article:

Shortly before the fight was set to begin, Naazim Richardson, Mosley’s astute trainer, was doing his duty by watching carefully as Javier Capetillo, Margarito’s trainer, wrapped the hands of his fighter.

At first, Richardson complained that Capetillo was taping too far down Margarito’s wrist and a commission official made him re-tape it several times. Then, when it came time to place a protective gauze pad over the fighter’s knuckles, Richardson felt it and could tell immediately that it was harder than usual.


Also, Robert Olvera, Mosley’s doctor, reportedly noticed a flaky substance on the pads that reminded him of the plaster doctors use to make casts.

“From there, I said, ‘Listen, this isn’t cool,’” Richardson said.

The pads were impounded by the California State Athletic Commission, which is conducting an investigation

No where does it say that "a plaster substance fell out of the wrap" as one poster was implying on here, or that he had to rewrap specifically because of this substance.

At this point I dont know what I am hoping for more, that Margo didnt have anything and it was a ploy by Richardson or that Margo did have it and Richardson was stating the obvious.

They did take some evidence from whatever it was that fell out his glove that is suppose to be some kinda plaster. We will find out soon i guess but if it is true then his whole career is tarnished IMO.

what was taken was the wrap, regardless of the outcome it will not be good for his record. Thats why I am almost hoping that he did have something because if not it was Richardson who put this on him.

Um why would you hope he did have something in his wraps . thats bad for any fighter and the sport as well.

heres a link of the stuff they found. it said it was two peices of gauze in each of the gloves or something like that. anyway heres the first paragraph alond with the link.

When the wraps were cut off to be rewrapped, officials found what was deemed a "plaster-like substance" in the wraps. Two pieces of gauze, one in each glove, allegedly had the substance on them.

Gotta pay the price the trainer too if he knew it was happenin.
I hate cheaters

[JazMerkin]

Also was it Richardson or Bouie Fisher who spotted the handwrap thing in the Trinidad fight? I always thought it was Fisher. Actually scratch that it was definitely Fisher who insisted on them re-wrapping

What does that have to do with anything? So because Richardson or whoever made them rewrap their hands they all of a sudden couldn't fight? It kind of looked like Tito and Tony were throwing punches to me. Favored does not equal lock and the substance found in Margarito's hand wraps have nothing to do with any head games Richardson may or may not have been playing. Let's wait for the official ruling and then see if you can spin that. Stop being such a fanboy and use common sense.

Here's Tony's career:
