    They had to have been previously used, with inspector Che Guevara testifying, saying it had a stain "like old blood" on it.

    Weather it was from training or an actual fight i dont think can be proved.

    Exactly and since they seemed to have been previously used, if you take gauze and make a pad and work out with them, then un wrap your hands set that pad aside when it drys it will harden due to the sweat.

    Good point.

    They might be breaking down the different compounds in the pad to separate the sweat from whatever else might be in there.... so that way they can easily identify what the substance is? Just a guess.

    I still dont think it should take A MONTH!

    Even that is up for debate -

    As for the claim by Margarito's co-manager, Francisco Espinoza, that it was gauze that had grown humid and started to harden of its own accord, I ran that explanation past HBO commentator and Hall-of-Fame trainer, Emanuel Steward. He didn't find it plausible in the least. As proof of his point, he mentioned that he was about to auction off the hand-wraps that Lennox Lewis used in his fights with Mike Tyson and Hasim Rahman. For more than six years, Steward has kept them in a Ziploc bag. If damp gauze ever were inclined to harden over time, one would expect that those wraps would be stiff as boards by now.

    "But that material," Steward told me, "is still soft."

    Behold the wonders of DNA, blood would tell us if any blood got into the gloves. If its some foes DNA, it will narrow it down.
