Whiteout: The Olympic Snowboarder Who Became A Cocaine Kingpin
About this episode
A former Canadian Olympic snowboarder should have been a footnote—a guy who raced once, finished 24th, and faded away. But in early 2026, Ryan Wedding resurfaces as a fugitive on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, accused of running a sprawling cocaine network and ordering hits across borders. How did a middle-class kid from a ski family end up here?
Ready Alyssa and Tisha’s reporting on Wedding for ESPN
