Overview
- BBC sources say there are no plans for Johnson to appear on athletics broadcasts in 2026 after Grand Slam Track collapsed and entered bankruptcy in December 2025.
- Delaware court filings list specific unpaid athlete claims, including Josh Kerr at about $168,750, Matthew Hudson‑Smith at $147,500, Daryll Neita at $28,750 and Dina Asher‑Smith at $24,500.
- The official unsecured creditors committee has objected to GST's proposed repayment plan and alleges Johnson received a $500,000 payment on June 4, 2025, shortly before the Los Angeles event was canceled.
- GST rejects the insider‑payment allegation as false and says Johnson advanced millions to cover operating costs, with only a portion reimbursed.
- World Athletics says it will not license any GST restart until debts from the 2025 season are settled, as legal proceedings continue in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.
