Boxing: Margarito gets 1-year suspension for illegal wraps

Antonio Margarito's boxing license has been revoked for at least one year by the California State Athletic Commission for the illegal wraps discovered on his hands before his loss last month to Sugar Shane Mosley.
The commission's decision effectively bans Margarito, an American-born fighter who now lives in Mexico, from boxing in this country, since other states generally uphold such suspensions.
Margarito's trainer, Javier Capetillo, also lost his license for at least one year.
