Lets view the Margarito handwrap issue in perspective...

[r ! z]

calcium and sulfer..dont leave that part out..there was plaster present

calcium and sulfer are also found in everyday things like hand lotion

oh and it was "traces" by the way

That is commonplace in many things including hand creams.

I'll be there's some calcium and sulfur under my computer right now.

I just realized this was a Thomas Hauser article.

No wonder its stands out.

Just another reason why ole' **** Buffman is a Hauserian.

if this were true, that you couldn't see the inserts w/o actually opening the knuckle pads, then yeah margarito could really be innocent.

i also find it hard to believe that tony wouldve been doing this in cohorts w/ his trainer for so many fights. im not sure he'd be that foolish to do it over and over again w/o the fear of being caught and ruining his career.

but the thing is, i think they found the traces inside the knuckle pad, which was supposed to be fresh gauze.

the fresh gauze makes contact with his skin, no?

That's a good article and gives a nice broad view of the situation.

To those comparing this incident with the Lewis/Resto scandal, it's a completely different situation. Lewis actually removed padding from the glove. That is in no way comparable to putting an old knuckle pad in a fighter's hand wrap.

the fresh gauze is handled by someone right?

someones hands make direct contact with the gauze?

Thomas Hauser is a great writer. He always gets the facts and presents them in a convincing way.

I you're in doubt why something happened always check if Hauser has made a piece on it.

Still both cases involves tampering with the weapons (fists).
