Twists and Turns: An Olympic Snowboarder's Surprising Path

Once upon a time, Ryan Wedding was a snowboarder representing Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympics. His career may not have reached the podium, but it seems his life took an unexpected turn. Federal prosecutors have revealed that Wedding, now 43, became a major player in the drug trafficking world, allegedly involved in moving 60 tons of cocaine each year across borders. This billion-dollar enterprise, named “The Wedding Criminal Enterprise,” was run with an iron fist.Wedding and his partner, Andrew Clark, are accused of ordering killings, including a tragic case of mistaken identity that left an Indian couple dead and their daughter wounded. It's a stark contrast to the world of sports, showing that success in one arena doesn't guarantee a life free of criminal temptations. Authorities are currently searching for Wedding, who remains at large.
