Commission Chairman: Tim Noonan said the inquiry stems from a commission rule that limits the amount and type of gauze and tape allowed under a fighter's glove. He said the commission has authority to discipline athletes when their actions are a "discredit to boxing."
Inspector: Mike Bray, said during questioning that he had seen the pads and that they were "moist and dirty looking with a white substance smeared across the pad, like a cast plaster."
A California Department of Justice senior criminalist who inspected the wrappings under a stereomicroscope and with an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer determined the wraps contained sulfur and calcium, according to a document obtained by the Times. Those two elements, with the addition of oxygen, make plaster of Paris.
Sulfur + Calcium + Oxygen = Plaster of Paris.
Plaster of Paris is a type of building material based on calcium sulphate hemihydrate, nominally CaSO4·1/2H2O. It is created by heating gypsum to about 150 °C
Plaster of Paris only requires mixing with water to activate
Margarito's Wraps FACTS
1. Moist (water to activate)
2. White substance smeared across the pad, like a cast plaster.
3. The wraps when tested had the ingrediance of sulfur + Caluim(Sulfur + Calcium + Oxygen = Plaster of Paris.)
4. They were hardening
5. Capetillo used old gauze. NOT NEW ones
BASED ON THE FACTS:
Margarito Wraps were a discredit to boxing, evidence has proven that his wraps contained the elements of Plaster of Paris.
Margarito to this day, has yet to sue or publicly denouned Capetillo. Which should be viewed at the very least su****ious since he claims this man has single handly detroyed his career.
Margarito has yet to take a lie detector test which is also shocking since you would think he would do everything possible to prove his innocence.
RULE:Fresh gauze is supposed to be used for each MAIN EVENT fight
Margarito: Capetillo used old gauze.
