UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS  2.15.121 During the season, no rider already registered with a UCI WorldTeam for the current  a season may join another UCI WorldTeam or a UCI ProTeam outside the transfer periods.  2.15.122 The UCI WorldTeam or its paying agent that approaches or engages, even conditionally,  a rider from a UCI WorldTeam or a UCI ProTeam without the prior agreement of the  current paying agent, shall be subject to a fine of CHF 30,000 to 500,000. Individual  licence-holders involved in such practices shall be liable to a fine of between CHF 3,000  and 50,000.  2.15.123 In no case may a rider move to another team before the expiry of the term with his current  paying agent as stipulated in the contract - even if that contract does not run its full term  - unless he has prior authorisation from the president of the Professional Cycling Council.  2.15.124 For the application of UCI Regulations, any move to another UCI WorldTeam shall be  deemed to constitute a new contractual relationship, so that a new contract will have to  be concluded in accordance with articles 2.15.111 to 2.15.119, even if, under applicable  legislation, the transfer is effected by a cession of contract, the pursuance of the contract  by other parties, the secondment of the rider or any other similar method.  2.15.125 Riders and UCI WorldTeams may not reveal that they are involved in negotiations about  transfers outside the transfer period.  (article introduced on 1.07.10; text modified on 1.07.11; 1.10.13).  If these approaches take place outside the transfer period, the fines will be tripled.  Moreover, the UCI WorldTeam in question shall pay the rider's current paying agent  compensation equivalent to the amount of the remuneration for the period of the contract  with the current paying agent remaining to run, but no less than six months' salary.  (text modified on 1.07.11; 1.01.15).  In the case of a merger between UCI WorldTeams or between a UCI WorldTeam and a  UCI ProTeam, the present provision shall apply to riders of the merged entity who have  changed paying agent.  A rider in breach of this article shall be liable to a fine of between CHF 300 and 100,000.  If this breach occurs outside the transfer period, the rider will additionally be suspended  for a minimum of one month and a maximum of four months.  (text modified on 1.07.11; 1.01.15).
