Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder from Canada, went from representing his country in the 2002 Olympics to becoming a convicted drug trafficker and fugitive, highlighted by his marriage in prison in 2011. Tied to Mexican drug cartels and implicated in violent crimes, his life spiraled into the criminal underworld where he allegedly led a drug ring with severe criminal associations. Despite his athletic past, Wedding transformed into a feared figure in the drug trade, with the FBI classifying him as one of their most-wanted fugitives, with many of his former associates reportedly found dead.
"Ryan Wedding’s story exemplifies a dramatic fall from grace, from competing at the Olympics to becoming an alleged drug kingpin involved with cartel violence and sophisticated crime networks."
"While Wedding is now considered one of the FBI's most-wanted fugitives, his former athletic glory as a Canadian snowboarder starkly contrasts with his current status as an alleged trafficker and murderer."
