Sixteen people, including a former Olympic snowboarder from Canada, have been charged in a drug trafficking operation that shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia through Southern California to parts of the U.S and Canada. The leaders also are accused of orchestrating multiple murders.
Ryan James Wedding, 43, who represented Canada at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, and Andrew Clark, 34, also a Canadian citizen, are charged with international cocaine trafficking and murder. The two were living in Mexico, where Clark was arrested on Oct. 8. Wedding is a fugitive.
On Oct. 17, a superseding indictment naming an additional 14 co-defendants was released. The indictment alleges that Wedding, Clark and others facilitated the shipment of hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Southern California to Canada, using a drug transportation network run by Hardeep Ratte, 45, and Gurpreet Singh, 30 of Ontario, Canada from January to August 2024. The drugs were shipped from Mexico to the Los Angeles area, where they would be stored in stash houses before being transported up north by long-haul semi-trucks.
In a news conference the same day, authorities said the operation had ties to the Sinaloa Cartel.
