Olympic champion Donovan Bailey joins The Shakeout Podcast

Donovan Bailey, widely known as the fastest man in Canadian history, joins the latest episode of The Shakeout Podcast. Last month, the two-time Olympic champion released his new book, Undisputed: A Champion’s Life, documenting the previously untold stories from his decorated career. Throughout our interview, Bailey discusses why it felt like the right time to divulge these career insights, the rivalries that fuelled his career and how the current generation of Canadian athletes can pave their own paths to Olympic gold.

Bailey also breaks down his experience entering the sport on the heels of Ben Johnson’s infamous doping scandal and the racist undertones that followed the coverage.
