Whiteout: The Olympic Snowboarder Who Became A Cocaine Kingpin

About this episode

The episode explores the dramatic fall of a former Olympic snowboarder who became a fugitive and drug kingpin.

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?
