British sprinter Daryll Neita has hit out at Grand Slam Track over its failure to pay athletes on time as it had promised before the big-paying track event started.
British sprinter Daryll Neita has given the clearest indication that Grand Slam Track had financial problems even before their inaugural event gunned off in April this year.
Grand Slam Track, founded by American sprint legend Michael Johnson as a gamechanger for track and field, ran into problems as soon as it started and it did not even complete its programme for the first year.
The track league had editions in Kington, Jamaica in April before Miami and Philadelphia followed in May but the final leg in Los Angles in June was surprisingly cancelled and it has sicne emerged that it was due to a cash crunch.

Revealed: How Michael Johnson’s Grand Slam Track Lied to Athletes About Non-Existent Funding
US sprint legend Michael Johnson is now facing claims of knowingly lying to athletes that he had money to fund Grand Slam Track yet he did not.
Neita Confirms Grand Slam Track’s Struggles
A report by The Athletic last week revealed that Grand Slam Track already knew it had a financial shortfall even before the Kingston leg after a key investor failed to make firm commitments but told athletes that all was well. Johnson is now fighting to save his reputation with athletes not paid and threatening legal action.
“I hit in Jamaica on Wednesday so excited for the season opener [in Kingston]…oh my God let’s go and get this money at the Grand Slam,” Neita said on her YouTube vlog. “[Laughs] babe, there was no money [laughs again] there was no money.”
Neita’s sentiments suggest Grand Slam Track struggled to meet their end of the bargain as early as the first leg which falls in line with the latest reports.
