    No, but neither is Sammy Sanchez. I suspect the boys in Orange have more to worry about than whether they can snare Bertie.

    The father of Contador's good friend Luis Leon Sanchez was badly injured in a Basque terrorist attack.

    I doubt E-E could have enough money to have Contador anyway.

    Sanchez rode as an amateur in the Basque country, which apparently makes you elligible for Euskatel.

    I very much doubt Euskatel could afford Contador, even if they stay in the sport. Their budget is, I believe, the lowest of any Pro Tour team.

    Euskaltel aren't actually the cycling wing of ETA though are they...

    Agree that they couldn't afford him anyway.

    Being basque is a way of life, not where you were born.

    Says my reliable book on ETA.
