He cheated and was caught. They wouldn't have suspended him a year if there was any doubt. When someone suddenly starts having success and gets caught cheating we have to assume they have been doing it the whole time they found success. When they are caught and no longer are successful like Margarito was it seems obvious.
He attempted to cheat. To attempt and to actually do are 2 different things.
im new to boxing, but who the **** would even risk so much to get such an insignificant (perhaps exaggerated) advantage over their opponent?
they have pride too.
It's basic human nature and ego at work when the stakes are high in virtually any sport.
Some fall from very high precipices like Armstrong. Others suffer life long humility, but are able to continue contributing to their respective sports.
Margacheato was already caught cheating red-handed and it was obvious from the fights post-scandal (after Richardson exposed him) that the cheater doesn't have devastating power once the wraps were gone.
No point revisiting this.
How many fighters in history have the same power in their 18th year of boxing that they had in their prime?
Better yet, after Trinidad was caught, where did his power go? Dude ended his career with 2 straight losses.
