A state inspector said that Margarito was found to have "a suspect bandage wrap inside a knuckle pad" that was to be placed atop both his fists. Inspector Che Guevara testified at the hearing that in three years and 150 hand wraps he had never seen such a pad.
"It was sweat-soaked, thinner and harder in certain areas, not hard as a rock, but firm and hard," Guevara was quoted as saying by the LA Times . He also said the pad had a stain "like old blood" on it. "It was not flexible. It was very firm," Guevara went on to state.
The "foreign substance" on the insert has not been identified, and the results of the "plaster-like" substance won't be known until mid-March.
State inspector Mike Bray revealed the following from his notes.
"There was a blood stain on the corner of the pad; [it was] moist and dirty looking with a white substance smeared across the pad, like a cast plaster ... I can see a substance smeared in the middle of this pad," Bray said, according to the LA Times .
