‘The word “concise” does not do justice to the breadth and depth of this work. It brings together worldwide expertise to explain not only sport jurisprudence but also the underlying principles and possible future paths. I know of the passion and knowledge that Björn, Ling and Jack bring to sports law at the academic and practical level and congratulate them on a tour de force.’
