The only athletes who had appearance fees in Berlin were the ones who are in contract with golden League (for example Isinbayeva, Vlasic). The argument was that athletes who come anyway because it’s the Golden League. Actually, the start lists in Berlin were not impressive. Berlin’s desicion created a scandal and managers threated to boycott the meet. i guess Berlin calmed down people in changing opinion and refusing to invite Chambers.
However, in turns out that Chambers is 98% sure to run in Paris GL, Diack’s recent quotes support that decision, against the advice of Euromeeting league.

That’s interesting. So Diack is in favour of Chambers competing?
BTW How many fans were there in Berlin?
