In 2002 Ryan James Wedding took part in the games in Salt Lake City. After that he apparently hit another “career” – which is now being doomed.

The United States put the former professional snowboarder Ryan James Wedding from Canada on the top ten list of the FBI of the most wanted criminals. At the same time, a bounty of $ 10 million was suspended for the seizure of the 43-year-old. In coordination with the governments of Canada and Mexico, the reward is offered in a joint effort to bring Wedding to court, the Foreign Ministry said.

Wedding took part in the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City in 2002 and was now an international drug dealer, the Foreign Ministry said. Finally, he is said to have lived in Mexico. He is accused of smuggling with other hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Mexico via California to Canada. Weddings organization is also responsible for several murders, including two members of a family in Ontario, it said.
