«'…thoughtful and intelligently written.' Houman Barekat, TLS»
«'Mumford has written an interesting book. It is well written and well-argued and has good examples and cases to illustrate key points. It is furthermore a non-technical and relatively short book. This is a good place to start for people interested in deeper aspects of sports than one finds in the media and in superficial literature.' Gunnar Breivik, idrottsforum.org»
