After Racing
After racing, Bailey started his own company called DBX Sport Management which helps amateur athletes find a way to promote themselves. He also started a sport injury clinic in Oakville, Ontario.
He has been inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame twice: in 2004 as an individual, and in 2008 as part of the 1996 Summer Olympics 4x100 relay team.
In August 2008 Bailey worked as a track commentator for CBC Television at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He estimated that had Usain Bolt not slowed down near the end of the 100m dash (which he still won in record time), he could have set a time of 9.55 seconds.
Since the gold medal glory years, Bailey's brushed with the law on multiple occasions. Most recently blowing 80 milligrams of alcohol and charged with impaired driving by police.
On 13 August 2012 Donovan Hosted Premier League's Most Amazing Moments On BBC Three, this show included Wayne Rooney's curler against Arsenal in 2002, the Chelsea kit man forgetting his team's kit for a game at Coventry, Darren Bent's controversial beach ball goal against Liverpool in 2009 and Hull City manager Phil Brown's team talk on the Etihad Stadium pitch on Boxing Day 2008 as well as Jimmy Bullard copying it for a celebration in the same fixture the following season after scoring a penalty.

Famous quotes containing the word racing:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
