We provide a response to Beech’s review of The Wages of Wins: Taking Measure of the Many Myths in Modern Sport in this journal. Specifically we are responding to three misinterpretations and/or misstatements in the book review. At the end of each section we explain the process in which we reach our conclusions and where we differ with the reviewer’s ascertations.
