Ex-Olympic Snowboarder Ryan Wedding Arrested as Drug Lord 🚓

Canadian former Olympic snowboarder-turned alleged drug kingpin Ryan Wedding is now in police custody, NBC is reporting.

Wedding, who’s accused of running a multi-billion dollar drug empire, was listed on the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives list and was reportedly being protected by the notorious Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico prior to his arrest.

The FBI first publicly identified Wedding as a suspect in a sweeping indictment released in October of 2024. At the time, authorities in the United States charged that Wedding was the mastermind behind a drug-trafficking empire that was shipping narcotics from Colombia, through Mexico, and into the U.S. and Canada.


Several murders were allegedly carried out in furtherance of the operation, according to the FBI, including at least four in Ontario and one in Colombia, the victim of which was a key witness in the case against Wedding.
