It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.” –THE GREAT ROD SERLING’S INTRO TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE SERIES.

Klitschko long ago conquered strongest foe

When Wladimir Klitschko steps into the ring with David Haye on July 2, it will mark the culmination of a fight over two years in the making.

For many, it is the second-biggest fight the sport has to offer -- and the most important heavyweight bout since Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson in 2002. It's also an opportunity to finally see the long-reigning king of boxing's (fading) glamor division in his moment of truth against a dangerous opponent in his prime.

But don't buy too much…

Victor Conte wants to clean up boxing with VADA, his 'Dream Team' of anti-dopers

There's this proverb: "It takes a thief to catch a thief". The now defunct BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative) founder Victor Conte likens it to Leonardo DiCaprio's character Frank Abegnale from the movie 'Catch Me If You Can'. So I figured, 'who better to ask about steroids, PEDs, HGHs and doping in sports other than a man who has extensive first-hand experience on the topic, and knows the science of supplements, performance enhancers, doping... the whole nine yards?!' Conte and… Continue

Why the Klitschkos should fight

This story appears in the June 27, 2011, issue of ESPN The Magazine.

BOXING'S HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION is such a bore that it was fun to hear WBA champ David Haye recently taunt Wladimir Klitschko about their July 2 title bout, saying the Ukrainian usually boxes "little fat puddings who turn up for a paycheck." There's real animosity between these two, and the extended buildup to their long-delayed fight has injected some life into the sport. When the dust settles in Hamburg, Germany, the… Continue
