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 [nonsense]."
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."Comment

Antonio Margarito's trainer, Javier Capetillo, has essentially fallen on the sword in the hand-wrapping scandal that is playing out during today's hearing before the California State Athletic Commission in Van Nuys.
Capetillo just told his attorney -- in front of commissioners -- that he accidentally implanted inserts into the hand wraps of his boxer.
"I committed a big mistake," Capetillo said. "I don't want this young man [Margarito] to have problems. I'm here to cover any responsibility. I take full responsibility. I committed this innocent mistake."
Capetillo explained he accidentally pulled the insert from his training bag and placed it in Margarito's knuckle wraps on Jan. 24, just before Margarito's fight with Shane Mosley.
The commission has the power to revoke both Capetillo and Margarito's licenses.
