Review Quotes: "This third edition of Fair Play is like those that preceded it--accessible, intelligent, persuasive, and well written. But Professor Simon has improved the book by including new information, most notably on the issues of genetic enhancement and intercollegiate athletic reform. Now, more than ever before, Fair Play stands out as the premier text in the area."
--Scott Kretchmar, Pennsylvania State University

"Robert Simon's new edition of Fair Play is, simply put, the best book of its kind in the literature. The new section on genetic enhancement and the expanded section on the moral quandaries of intercollegiate sports are welcome, not to mention timely, additions. What's more, the book is a compelling read, free of jargon, persuasively argued, and teeming with incisive commentary."
--William Morgan, University of Southern California
