The California State Athletic Commission is in the process of examining the material taken from Antonio Margarito’s hand wraps last weekend, and expects a verdict on the matter “promptly,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

Margarito was found to have some type of substance in his hand wraps prior to his fight with Shane Mosley, a substance that was apparently slipped into his wraps after they were wrapped legally.

Mosley’s trainer, Nazim Richardson, said he believed that the material was placed into the wraps deliberately, while Margarito’s people have claimed that it was simply some gauze that got wet.

The incident has cast doubt on some of Margarito’s recent accomplishments, including his exciting 11th round knockout of Miguel Cotto last year. A source from Cotto’s camp said that Margarito’s hand wrap incident is all anyone is talking about in Puerto Rico, and Cotto will wait for the verdict to comment further.

Regardless of the outcome, Margarito will have an uphill battle ahead of him, not only recovering from the beating he took from Mosley, but from the beating his image is taking throughout this process.
