Track and field's international federation called it “unconscionable” for the bankrupt Grand Slam Track league to be looking into bankrolling future events before its debts from the 2025 season are settled.
World Athletics released a statement Monday supporting the position taken last week by an agents group that represents the majority of top-tier runners. That group, the Association of Athletics Managers, said it did not agree with what it said was the league's idea of using $400,000 for athlete recruitment for 2026 until the 300 people and companies it currently owes are paid.
