An “Olympic athlete-turned-drug lord” is being sought in a Mexican cartel-linked drug trafficking ring that shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia to the United States and Canada and orchestrated multiple murders as part of the operation.

A $50,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to Ryan James Wedding, 43, a Canadian citizen living in Mexico, whose nicknames are “El Jefe” and “Public Enemy.”
