Uncover

How did a small town Canadian boy allegedly become a narco kingpin? Ryan Wedding was once a promising young athlete, a snowboarder who went all the way to the Olympics. Now captured after a decade on the run, he’s accused of running a deadly international drug trafficking empire.

In this new podcast from CBC and the Toronto Star, host Michelle Shephard and reporter Calvi Leon trace Wedding’s descent into a violent criminal underworld. From his beginnings at his family ski hill outside Thunder Bay, to Toronto and the scenes of the shocking murders he’s accused of ordering, to Mexico where he was believed to be under the protection of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel, they uncover his illicit connections and the stories behind the victims caught in the crossfire.

Featuring new on-the-ground reporting and original interviews, this podcast investigates the Canadian who the FBI called a “modern day El Chapo” and asks: what will it take to bring him to justice?

The Most Wanted Olympian is an official 2026 Tribeca Festival Winner. The series is a co-production of Uncover from CBC and Suspicion from the Toronto Star.
