That one seems pretty simple.

If you played for a team, you were a member of that team.

If 10 years after you leave, that team goes on to win the championship, you are not and were never part of a "championship team."

Terrorist groups don’t have formal rosters the way sports teams do. It is sort of like “former intelligence officer”. It is definitely a strong argument (strengthened by time and distance separation, degree of clear separation or renunciation, etc) but it would almost certainly cause delays and substantial extra investigation, if nothing else.
