“A former Olympic snowboarder has been added to the FBI’s ten most wanted fugitives list accused of running a drug cartel that trafficked hundreds of kilos of Colombian cocaine from Mexico to the U.S. and Canada. Ryan Wedding, 43 …. who is believed to be on the run in Mexico and under the protection of the Sinaloa cartel, is wanted for masterminding a transnational narcotics trafficking network that routinely shipped tons of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and across the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the FBI. Wedding … has also been accused of orchestrating multiple murders, including an innocent Canadian couple who were killed in a case of mistaken identity in 2023. His addition to the FBI’s most wanted list marks a stark fall from grace since he represented Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, placing 24th in the men’s parallel giant slalom event.” (03/07/25)
