Olympic Snowboarder Ryan Wedding Named Among FBI's Most Wanted for Drug Trafficking

The FBI has placed Ryan Wedding, a 43-year-old former Olympic snowboarder, on its 10 most wanted fugitives list. Accused of orchestrating a brutal transnational drug trafficking operation, Wedding faces allegations of shipping large quantities of cocaine from Colombia to various locations in the United States and Canada. He is also implicated in multiple murders tied to his criminal activities.

Wedding's criminal history includes involvement in a violent drug cartel, with a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to his capture. The FBI reported he could be residing in Mexico while suspecting places he might hide are also in Canada and other Latin American countries. As a former participant in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Wedding's past as "El Jefe" and other aliases underscores his dramatic fall from glory. Alongside accomplice Andrew Clark, who was recently extradited from Mexico, Wedding faces serious charges linked to heinous crimes, pushing law enforcement to mobilize public assistance for his arrest.

Authorities continue their efforts to bring this dangerous fugitive into custody and urge anyone with information to step forward.
