Michael Vick is a free man: Falcons cut all ties with the convicted felon.
Alabama receives huge athletics sanctions from the NCAA. I wonder how many Div. I programs have been punished in the last five years and if it’s even worth it to have standards anymore.
Bolt’s spikes are still golden.
Rush Limbaugh could soon be a [...]

French pole vaulter is naked again
A couple months ago, we brought you a video of French pole vaulter Romain Mesnil running naked through the streets of Paris. Well there’s a new video of him, with a new sponsor, and now it seems everyone in the Roubaix Valley of France is naked. According to the video, it seems to be some [...]

It’s becoming one of Outsports’ rites of late spring — the annual Hypo decathlon gallery, shot for us by Trackpic.net. This year’s winner was Michael Schrader, middle, being congratulated by fellow Germans Norman Muller, left, and Pascal Behrenbruch. Check out the entire gallery here.

Photo: Hot jock Trey Hardee
Hardee is an elite decathlete from the University of Texas, who finished second in the major Hypo decathlon in Austria this weekend. Hardee led going into the final event, the 1,500-meter run, but he finished 14th and wound up behind Germany’s Michael Schrader. Finneye, an excellent track photographer who has shot many events for Outsports, [...]
Video: Sprinter Matt Shirvington in underwear ad
Australian sprint champion Matt Shirvington cut a 3:30 video ad for Jockey that shows him running in nothing but his undies. The ad supposedly “demonstrates the fit, control and support of the Jockey Performance underwear.” Perhaps, but it’s hard to take your eyes off what’s bouncing slightly below the Jockey label and by the ripped [...]

Pole vaulter runs nude through streets of Paris
Romain Mesnil, a French pole vaulter, has instantly won me over with his stunt to try and attract new sponsors after he was dropped by Nike: He posted a video of himself running nude through Paris (video below).
The musclebound 31-year-old is seen loping through the streets with his pole as if preparing for a vault [...]

This year’s contest features the Americas vs. the World. Check out the seedings here. We will post links to the balloting once it starts. In scanning the [...]
Hot jock of the day: Mikk Pahapill
Mikk Pahapill of Estonia won the heptathlon at the European indoor track and field championships this weekend in Turin, Italy. The heptathlon is a version of the decathlon modified for indoors, with fewer events. If you like tall (6-4), lean (185 pounds), blond decathletes, then Pahapill is for you. Larger photo and links after the [...]
More flexing from 400-meter runner Adam
We have periodically posted videos of Adam Charlton, a former 400-meter runner with an amazing body who likes to show it off on YouTube. His latest defines what “being ripped” means, as you’ll see when he takes off his shirt.

Bi college athlete talks sexuality in sports
A reporter for the University of Western Ontario has done a nice job on an article exploring the issues surrounding homophobia in sports and the culture that keeps athletes in the closet. Ravi Amarnath really did his homework for this one, talking to at least a half-dozen sources (including myself), most notably an openly bisexual [...]
Bolt is int’l press’ athlete of the year
While most Americans have been fawning over Michael Phelps since the Olympics, the International Sports Press Association has named Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt their Athlete of the Year. Phelps finished second. Both athletes had tremendous years, but I would have personally given it to Bolt as well. His world-record sprint in Beijing in the 100-meter [...]
Hot jock: More flexing from 400-meter runner
We’ve posted two previous videos of Adam Charlton, a Brit who runs the 400 meters but seems to now be transitioning into modeling and bodybuilding. He certainly enjoys showing off for the camera. Can’t say I blame him.

Out 100 honors athletes
Several athletes are among those being honored by Out magazine in their 2008 Out 100. Out editor Aaron Hicklin had asked us a couple months ago if we knew any athletes who would be worthy of the honor, and we pointed them to two: Ivy League runners Jamal Brown and Corey Benton.
Friends and competitors Cory [...]
