Ex-Olympian, FBI Most Wanted, Arrested as Alleged Drug Kingpin

Former Olympic athlete Ryan Wedding, who spent years evading capture, has been arrested. He was on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list. Wedding is accused of leading a transnational drug trafficking operation. This means authorities believe he directed a large-scale drug business across multiple countries. He competed as a shot putter for the United States in the 1992 Summer Olympics. His arrest ends a long international manhunt. Authorities have not yet released details of his capture or the specific charges he will face. The case highlights his dramatic shift from celebrated sportsman to a top international fugitive.
