He partied till 3AM… then won races the next day. Donovan Bailey reveals the untold story of how he walked away from millions on Bay Street to chase greatness on the track. From his Jamaican roots to becoming the fastest man on Earth, Donovan breaks down the politics, pressure, and pure ego that fueled his rise. He even calls out today’s sprinters — and exposes what REALLY went down with Michael Johnson. This is elite mentality at its rawest.
