Les créanciers accusent Michael Johnson de fraude dans la faillite de Grand Slam Track

Les fournisseurs impliqués dans la ligue Grand Slam Track, qui a fait faillite, demandent l'autorisation du tribunal pour poursuivre le champion olympique Michael Johnson et l'investisseur Winners Alliance pour 25 millions de dollars, alléguant fraude et mauvaise gestion. Les créanciers affirment que Johnson s'est improprement versé 500 000 dollars et que Winners Alliance a conduit la ligue à la ruine financière malgré des promesses de soutien. Une audience devant le tribunal de faillite sur cette affaire est prévue pour jeudi.

Grand Slam Track, une ligue professionnelle d'athlétisme éphémère fondée par Michael Johnson, est en procédure de faillite depuis décembre 2025 après sa saison de trois événements cette année-là. La ligue a déclaré plus de 40 millions de dollars de dettes pour moins de 2 millions de dollars de revenus. Lundi, un comité des créanciers composé de trois fournisseurs — la société de diffusion Momentum-CHP Partnership (devant environ 3 millions de dollars), la société de graphisme Girraphic Park (690 000 dollars) et l'ancienne société de relations publiques SRK Strategies (248 000 dollars) — a demandé l'approbation pour engager une action en justice de 25 millions de dollars contre Johnson, Winners Alliance et plusieurs cadres dirigeants.
