The Canadian, Ryan Wedding, has been named as one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives.

The 43 year old is wanted for allegedly running a violent international drug trafficking network.

Wedding competed in Giant Slalom snowboarding for Canada during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Wedding is accused of shipping hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and southern California, to Canada and US locations.

He is also wanted for involvement in multiple murders and an attempted murder to further these drug crimes.

The US is offering a reward of up to $10m (£7.7m) for information leading to Wedding’s arrest or conviction.

“The alleged murders of his competitors make Wedding a very dangerous man, and his addition to the list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, coupled with a major reward offer by the State Department, will make the public our partner so that we can catch up with him before he puts anyone else in danger,” said the assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, Akil Davis, in a statement to the press this week.
