Alleged Drug Kingpin and Former Olympian Ryan Wedding Arrested After Years on the Run
Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic athlete who once represented Canada in snowboarding, has been arrested after years of being on the run. Authorities say he was listed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and is accused of leading a major transnational drug trafficking operation.
According to investigators, Wedding is suspected of coordinating large-scale drug shipments across international borders, allegedly building a network that operated across multiple countries. His arrest marks the end of a long search that involved cooperation between law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Officials described the case as a significant breakthrough in efforts to dismantle organized drug trafficking networks operating at a global level. Wedding’s background as an Olympian has added further shock to an already high-profile case, drawing widespread media attention.
He now faces serious charges linked to drug trafficking and organized crime, and is expected to appear in court as extradition or prosecution proceedings move forward.
