Antonio Margarito's promoter Bob Arum has seen the state Department of Justice report analyzing a gauze pad the fighter was to wear into his Jan. 24 fight with Shane Mosley, and said the details prove Margarito's license revocation was "total, complete ."
Arum seized on a line in the report that noted the gauze pad contained calcium and sulfur, key elements found in plaster of Paris, but also noted "these .... elements are also found in substances other than plaster."
Arum's attorneys say they are planning an appeal and that their investigation into the matter is proceeding.
Arum, however, said the attorneys have told him sulfur and calcium are also contained in "cream you put on your hands, a commonly used hand cream."
A scan of the Internet did reveal that at least one hand cream contains sulfur, calcium and several other ingredients. Arum contends the hand cream theory is consistent with suspended Margarito trainer Javier Capetillo's point that the tainted hand wrap inserts accidentally ended up in his training bag because they were discarded after being used by a fighter in his Montebello gym.
"It could very well be that this is the residue of hand cream," Arum said. "This exposes the fact there is no case here."
Yet, Supervising Deputy Attorney General Karen Chappelle, who convinced the California State Athletic Commission to suspend Margarito, has said Margarito violated the rules because only gauze and tape are allowed in hand wraps.
This week, Arum fighter Manny Pacquiao said Margarito, "Of course knows what's in his hand." And Ricky Hatton added, "You know what's in your hand wrap. Some serious damage could've been done. He deserves serious punishment."
The attorneys are waiting on a written decision by the California State Athletic Commission before filing their appeal. Margarito will probably not fight until next year because of the license revocation.

well that explains everthing i see what happen shane put that in tony bag so he would get caught trying to cheat and the cream on the wraps came from Cotto's cousin.
i smell something i think it bullshit coming from the toney camp
This makes total sense. Margarito had the hand cream. Jerked off into the knuckle pads and his splugge is what caused them to harden..........haha GTF outta here.
This shit is so sad and transparent that it has transcended absurdity and is now bordering on being equal parts funny and sad.
This is far fetched even for those who want to believe that there were no bad intentions. I don't see how You can't tell the difference between old used wraps and new ones. Its obvious that you meant to use the old ones. And now all of a sudden its hand cream? Why no mention of the hand cream before you found that some of the ingredients are the same as plaster? You could have told everyone that was what the substance was to start. But they waited till now to bring that up. SAD ATTEMPT.
Don't see how it's cream due to the pad hardening.
If the pad, which is illegal in the first place, had cream on it, it wouldn't harden. The only thing that hardens after you put cream on it is a cock, not a pad. It's clearly plaster of paris.
so... now the mother f u ckers wants to tell us. .that he had
only.. a lil bit of....

That's what expensive lawyers do..
Funny thing is Marga-cheato might be fighting a couple free fights to pay for his costly defense.

Funny, I thought Marga-cheato just had 1 lawyer??
Now it's plural, what about the excuse of the DOJ finding sulfur and calcium?
