The FBI has released a new image of Ryan James Wedding, the Canadian ex-Olympian allegedly behind a deadly international drug ring.
The undated image shows Wedding looking at his phone at an undisclosed location. The former Olympic snowboarder has been accused of ordering a number of murders in Canada as the head of the alleged drug-trafficking network. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Wedding is one of 16 defendants listed in a U.S. indictment unsealed last month. At that time, police released an image of Wedding, who appeared to have long hair and a patchy beard. In the updated image, Wedding is seen to have changed his appearance slightly with noticeably shorter hair.
Nine other Canadians are also accused of taking part in the network that allegedly trafficked 1,800 kilograms of cocaine across Colombia, Mexico, the U.S., and Canada.
The 43-year-old is believed to be living in Mexico and police have linked him to at least three deadly shootings including the killing of a couple in Caledon who investigators say were innocent.
