I am reminded of watching trainers wrap their fighters' hands at the Golden Gloves for the past three years. There is one fellow who consistently uses materials that violate the national rules in amateur boxing. One could safely conclude they are not confident the fighter could not win without cheating.

I've turned them in, in both of the past two years. The commission addressed it in one round of last year's tourament, but didn't check this year. And it happened again. That's why I think commissions and others, such as Congress, need to take a more pro-active stance.
