Bailey’s Group Blasted

Michael Johnson’s coach questioned Donovan Bailey’s entourage for ordering him to deliberately try and get Johnson injured.

“From the accounts I’ve read in the Toronto papers, Dan Pfaff (Bailey’s coach) ordered Donovan to go take him out hard and you’ll get him hurt,” Clyde Hart said, referring to Sunday’s 150-meter match race at Toronto’s SkyDome.

It was announced Tuesday that Johnson probably will be sidelined 2-4 weeks, although more will be known as the swelling in his injured leg subsides.

Bailey reportedly was told to “blow Michael up,” because Pfaff and Bailey’s two-member medical staff, could tell before the race that Johnson was having difficulty with his left leg while warming up, Hart said.
