He may have been ousted by Roger Federer in straight sets in the semifinals, but Tommy Haas was still one of the hottest things at Wimbledon. Photographer Brent snapped some shots of him as he warmed up (shirtless, of course) at a tournament in Los Angeles during his “ponytail” phase. More pics after the jump. […]

For U.S. Independence Day, we're going with an athlete who has literally wrapped himself with the flag: Sprinter Walter Dix. At the Beijing Olympics, Dix was the standout American sprinter taking bronze in the 100m and 200m and then doing laps with Old Glory.

International Jock has had the good fortune to have just completed a photo shoot with 20-year old British model Harry Tucker.

I find it kind of funny when I see companies pop up trying to wrap themselves in athletic nomenclature so they can better market their wares to gay men. The most glaring example is surely Jock Soap. Today I stumbled across an underwear company in Australia called TeamM8 that’s doing just the same. Don’t get […]
