-> impressed with how the American media handled the loss by Johnson..
-> amazingly, they didn't even jump on Bailey for his arrogant comments

-> them.  Whether Johnson pulled up or not is a question only he knows
-> the answer to for sure, but there was no reason for Bailey to voice
-> his personal opinion.

-> And I've heard two different americans call Bailey the fastest man in
-> the world now.. which is about two more than I was expecting :)
You are right Bailey do not have a reason to say something bad but you
have to remember that he was really frustrated from American media. If
you were on his shoe, you will probably do the same. How can a guy that
broke the record in 100M in the Olympics in American soil got snubbed by
the American media.
I still think Johnson was so scared that Bailey will blow him away
that's why he pulled lame. I heard a rumor that he will be participating
in another week's race. Isn't that miraculous? I still think the
American media will still not take Johnson's loss and will be asking for
a rematch in the States, maybe Las Vegas. Oh well, I know he is the
fastest man in the world and I don't care what others will say.
