Summary

Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder from Canada, has been captured by the FBI and faces multiple federal charges, including murder and drug trafficking. Wedding, who was on the FBI Ten Most Wanted list, allegedly led a drug ring that funneled cocaine from Colombia to the U.S. He reportedly orchestrated the murder of a witness against him and had previously been linked to criminal activity dating back to 2006. After long negotiations, he turned himself in and is expected to face significant legal consequences.


Our Take

Once again, we were told to believe. Here’s a guy who went from parallel giant slalom to parallel crime life quicker than you can say “medal of dishonor.” Who knew that finishing 24th in the Olympics was merely the warm-up for a side gig as a drug lord? Just when you thought you’ve heard every silly excuse in the book, this guy skips the Olympic spirit for the “let me show you how to double down on bad decisions” playbook. A bounty on a witness? That’s a bold strategy, Ryan. Let’s call it a ‘tactical error.’ But don’t worry, fans! It’s still early in the season for redemption—next match fixes everything.
