Bailey, Others Awaiting BAF Payment

Friday, October 17, 1997

The fastest man in the world along with Britain's Linford Christie (former 100m Olympic and World Champion) and Roger Black (400m silver medallist) are still awaiting payment from the recently bankrupt British Athletic Federation (BAF).

The British Athletic Federation announced in mid-October that they were $860,000 in the red. A spokesperson also confirmed that Bailey had yet to be paid for appearances in Britain this year.
