Bailey won a gold medal for Canada in the 100m sprint at the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, more than 22 years ago. His 9.84s performance (after other competitors false started three times, two of them by defending champion Linford Christie of Great Britain, who was disqualified as a result) set a new world record, which stood for three years before being broken by American Maurice Green, who ran 9.79s at the Athens Grand Prix II in July 1999. 

Bailey’s victory was much celebrated by Canadians who had lived under the shadow of Ben Johnson’s positive drug test just a few days after his historic victory in Seoul in 1988. Canadians who felt burned by Johnson were initially skeptical of Bailey, who weathered their mistrust and came out on top.
