Overview
- Grand Slam Track cut short its 2025 launch season and entered bankruptcy in December, leaving athletes and vendors owed significant sums.
- Vendors and a creditors' committee allege in court papers that Michael Johnson was secretly paid $500,000 while debts were left unpaid, an accusation project representatives deny.
- Grand Slam Track representative Alex Tourk says the claim is false and that Johnson advanced millions for operating costs, only part of which was later reimbursed.
- Josh Kerr has submitted a $218,750 creditor claim, says he is frustrated by the loss, and maintains those involved are not bad people after speaking with Johnson and his agents.
- Kerr, 28, has recovered from a calf tear and is set to race in Poland this week targeting the world indoor 3,000m title he previously won in Glasgow.
