Boxer Sues: I Was Never Plastered

Published | Updated

Antonio Margarito, the former WBA welterweight champ, is suing the California State Athletic Commission, claiming he was unjustly suspended for allegedly hiding plaster in the knuckle pad under his gloves in his fight against "Sugar" Shane Mosley.

On January 24, 2009, Margarito was preparing to fight Mosley -- his trainer was wrapping his hands when a rep from the Athletic Commission decided to inspect his hands, allegedly finding an "illegal material inside the knuckle pad." The knuckle pads were confiscated and his hands were re-wrapped.

Margarito then fought Mosely and got his ass kicked. But the unkindest cut of all -- after the fight, his boxing license was suspended for one year. He feels he's been denied due process and wants his license back.

He's suing to get a court order forcing the Commission to reinstate him, stat.

Alex Rodriguez B*tch T*ts?!

Published | Updated

Don't blame us for the nickname...

According to a brand new report from the person who broke the original A-Rod steroid story a few months ago, some of A-Rod's Yankees teammates called him "Bitch Tits" in 2005 -- because he allegedly developed man boobies from steroids.

According to Selena Roberts, "Bitch Tits" didn't stop using the 'roids back when he was on the Rangers -- as he stated publicly -- but cheated all the way to NY. Roberts claims in 2005, A-Rod's teammates noticed "he put on 15 pounds in the offseason which included round pectorals, a condition called gynecomastia that can be caused by anabolic steroids." In other words -- dude had bitch tits.

Another fun fact from Roberts' new report: She claims A-Rod was hated at Hooters because he only tipped 15 percent.
