Antonio Margarito and his chief corner man Javier Capetillo both had their licenses temporarily suspended by the California State Athletic Commission, pending the results of tests done to the material seized from his locker room prior to his fight with Shane Mosley Saturday.

The CSAC has said that it expects the results of tests and a verdict on those results promptly. Margarito and anyone else involved face the possibilities of fines, suspensions or revocation of licenses if the CSAC deems them appropriate. Margarito and Capetillo have both been asked to attend a hearing on Feb. 10.

According to ESPN.com, representatives from the camps of Kermit Cintron and Joshua Clottey have asked for the results to be forwarded to their camps. Margarito knocked Cintron out twice and beat Clottey by decision.

Past opponents of Margarito are watching the outcome of the commission investigation with interest. Attorney Pat English, who represents former Kermit Cintron promoter Main Events and Vinny Scolpino, the manager of Joshua Clottey, sent a letter to the commission on Tuesday to alert the panel of their interest.

“We have seen many allegations in this sport and will form no conclusions until the wraps are tested,” English wrote. “However, if they test positive for an illegal substance a logical question will be whether the illegal substance was used in other bouts, and we will ask the commissions of the other states where Margarito fought to make appropriate inquiries.”

English asked the commission to forward any test results related to the case.

The full text of CSAC Chairman Tim Noonan’s statement:

“The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has temporarily suspended the licenses of Antonio Margarito and his chief corner man, Javier Capetillo. The temporary suspension will remain in effect until CSAC has fully investigated the circumstances surrounding events at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 24, 2009. A foreign substance was found by California State Athletic Commission staff in the hand wraps of Antonio Margarito before his bout against Shane Mosley at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The substance found in Margarito’s hand wraps is currently being analyzed by the California Department of Justice. An investigation as to whether either licensee violated CSAC rules is ongoing. Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo have been asked to appear at an initial hearing scheduled for February 10, 2009.”

“The licenses of Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo were suspended pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 18842, which allows for the temporary suspension of a license when such an action is necessary to ‘protect the public welfare.’ CSAC Rule 323 limits the amount and type of gauze and tape allowed under a fighter’s boxing glove. Rule 390 allows CSAC to discipline a licensee when his or her actions are a “discredit to boxing” or violate the rules of CSAC.

“Commission staff will have no further comment until such time as the Commission makes a final determination of whether licensee actions in this case warrant fines, suspensions, or the revocation of licenses. The Commission has asked Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo to appear at an initial hearing currently scheduled for February 10, 2009.”
