A Canadian Olympic snow border, Ryan Wedding, is now on the FBIs top 10 most wanted list. After performing poorly in the Olympics representing Canada, he began trafficking cocaine from Columbia and eventually joined the Sinaloa Cartel as a ranking member where he proceeded to order the murders of several individuals. His henchman Andrew Clark was recently handed over to the US by Mexico as a result of Trump's tariff threats.

Former Olympic snowboarder and Canadian national Ryan Wedding, 43, has been placed on the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives list for allegedly running a violent transnational drug trafficking network.

Wedding is wanted for allegedly shipping hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and southern California, to Canada and US locations, and for orchestrating multiple murders and an attempted murder to further these drug crimes.

The US is offering a reward of up to $10m (£7.7m) for information leading to Wedding's arrest or conviction.

Investigators believe he is living in Mexico, but have not ruled out his presence in the US, Canada, other Latin American countries or elsewhere.

It was not clear if he has a lawyer.

Wedding competed in Giant Slalom snowboarding for Canada during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

His aliases include "El Jefe," "Giant," "Public Enemy," "James Conrad King," and "Jesse King," the FBI said.

In June 2024, Wedding and his accomplice Andrew Clark, 34, also Canadian, were charged in California with running a continuing criminal enterprise, committing murder in connection with the enterprise and assorted drug crimes, and conspiring to possess, distribute, and export cocaine.

Clark was arrested by Mexican authorities and was among 29 fugitives extradited to the US from Mexico last week.
