ARLINGTON, Texas – Manny Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, complained that Antonio Margarito had taken Ephedra, a banned stimulant, prior to their World Boxing Council super welterweight title fight at Cowboys Stadium and demanded an immediate urinalysis.
Texas boxing regulators in charge of the bout refused and said Margarito would be tested for a complete drug screening following the fight, per normal.
Margarito trainer Robert Garcia was complaining about the way Pacquiao’s hands were wrapped and was insisting they be re-wrapped. The commission approved the wrappings.
The controversies were not expected to delay the start of the fight. Top Rank president Todd duBoef said both sides agreed to put the dispute behind them and take it up after the fight.

Sorry I am uneducated on the subject. Ephedra isn't a steroid but it's an illegal performance enhancer.
Ephedrine is listed as a banned substance by both the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency.[46] The U.S. National Football League banned players from using ephedra as a dietary supplement in 2001 after the death of Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Korey Stringer; ephedra was found in Stringer's locker and the team contended that it contributed to his death.[36][47] The substance is also banned by the National Basketball Association.[41] Nonetheless, ephedra remains widely used by athletes; a 2006 survey of collegiate hockey players found that nearly half had used ephedra in the belief it would enhance athletic performance.[18]
