2.18.034 If the actual organiser of the event changes during the registration period, the UCI Management Committee must be informed by the event owner. 

2.18.035 The event owner shall not have any link, whether directly or indirectly, with a team registered with the UCI. In exceptional cases, which do not call into question the integrity or sporting equity of the event, the UCI Management Committee may grant a derogation of this article. 

2.18.036 In a document to be appended to the registration application form, the applicant shall certify (i) that it does not have any direct or indirect links to a UCI-registered team and (ii) that if any direct or indirect links (including, where applicable, through the intermediary of the actual organiser) with a UCI-registered team exist, this shall be communicated. The UCI Management Committee must be provided with this information and be updated throughout the registration period. 

2.18.037 In the event that direct or indirect links as described by articles 2.18.179 or 2.18.180 exist, the UCI Management Committee and the event owner shall consult and, if applicable, the UCI Management Committee shall impose a deadline on the event owner to regularise the situation. 

2.18.038 If the UCI Management Committee learns, through a third party other than the event owner, of the existence of such links as described in articles 2.18.179 and 2.18.180 which are not authorised by the UCI Management Committee, the parties concerned shall each be subject to a fine of CHF 10,000. The UCI Management Committee may set a deadline for the situation to be regularised. 

2.18.039 If the situation is not regularised in the sense or within the deadline indicated by the UCI Management Committee, or in the case of a dispute on the existence of a prohibited link or the achievement of regularisation, the dispute shall be presented to the UCI Disciplinary Commission upon a simple written request, either by the President of the UCI Management Committee or by the applicant who is the owner of the event. If the Disciplinary Commission considers that a link that is prohibited by articles 2.18.179 or 2.18.180 exists, it may make the registration subject to compliance with conditions and/or measures as considered appropriate, reduce the registration’s duration or withdraw it, if appropriate after having granted a period for regularisation.
