Former Olympian Ryan Wedding is a wanted man.
Wedding, who was on Canada’s snowboarding team for the 2002 Winter Olympics, has made it to the FBI’s 10 most-wanted fugitives list as he is accused of running a major drug ring.
This Thursday, the Bureau announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved a $10 million reward, which would make anyone providing information on his whereabouts that leads to his arrest very rich, per TMZ.
According to Akil Davis, the head of the FBI office in Los Angeles, Wedding “routinely shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and Southern California, to Canada and other locations in the United States.”
Ryan Wedding is also alleged to have arranged multiple killings and an assassination attempt.

The FBI is adding another $50,000 to the State Department’s reward for anyone with information leading to his capture.
In a neat attempt at a pun, Davis claimed that “Wedding went from shredding powder on the slopes at the Olympics to distributing powder cocaine on the streets of U.S. cities and in his native Canada.”
According to the Bureau, Wedding goes by several nicknames, which include “El Jefe,” “Giant,” “Public Enemy,” and “James Conrad King.”
One of Wedding’s supposed associates, Andrew Clark, was arrested by FBI agents last October and is set to be arraigned on similar federal charges in Arizona.
