Seven Canadians reportedly tied to a Canadian Olympian-turned-alleged-cocaine kingpin were key in the execution of an informant this January, law officials say.

The Canadians from Ontario, Quebec and Alberta were all named by the U.S. Justice Department, the FBI and the RCMP Wednesday as being reportedly involved in Ryan Wedding’s alleged drug empire.

The 44-year-old Wedding, a snowboarder who was living in Coquitlam, B.C., when he suited up for his country at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list earlier this year .

He is reportedly living in Mexico and has ties to the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the largest drug trafficking organizations based in Mexico, which has been listed as a foreign terrorist organization in the U.S. and Canada.
