The Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has been in favour of expelling the Israel-Premier Tech team from the Vuelta, but has clarified that this decision is not for the Spanish Government but for the International Cyclist Union (Union Cycliste Internationale).

In an interview with RNE, he said that when asked whether this Israeli team of businessman Sylvan Adams should be expelled from the cycling competition, he replied that he understands it, "and of course I would be in favour of it."

However, he has explained that this decision is not a matter for the Spanish Government, but for the International Cyclist Union. "Therefore, the Spanish Government has nothing to do with participation," the minister stressed.

Albaras has given as an example the expulsion of Russia from sporting competitions for invading Ukraine and said: "We cannot continue to maintain a normal relationship with Israel as if nothing were happening."

"Because we have to send the message to Israel, to Israeli society. They have to understand that Europe and Israel, as Article 2 of the Association Council says, can only relate when human rights are respected, because that is how democratic countries are based and related," the Foreign Minister has justified.
