In May 1997 he raced against Michael Johnson in a 150 m race at Toronto's SkyDome in a bid to truly determine who the world's fastest man was. Earlier in the spring of 1997 Johnson began performing television promotions in which he billed himself as "the world's fastest man" as a result of his 200 meters world record, despite the fact that the 100 m world record holders are traditionally given that unofficial title.

Bailey won $1.5 million for winning the race Todd Shapiro on Twitter @ iamToddyTickeles Jay Brody on Twitter @TheJayBrody Anna Cyzon on Twitter @AnnaCyzon Roddy Colmer on Twitter @ RoddyColmer Geoff Willingham (Guitar) on Facebook @ Geoff.Willingham.5 Samuel Lehner (Videographer) @ www.SamProductions.ca Listen weekdays from 4pm-6pm on SiriusXM Canada Laughs Ch.168! www.TheToddShapiroShow.com 1-844-887-7469 DOWNLOAD THE PODCAST! itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-todd-shapiro-show/id833625507?mt=2 LIKE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE! www.facebook.com/IamToddyTickles FOLLOW US ON TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM! www.Twitter.com/@ToddShapiroShow www.Instagram.com/ToddShapiroShow SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE! www.youtube.com/channel/UCI1RHDoVjDdDMVcNW1rTxdA
