A former Olympic snowboarder has been arrested in Mexico after being linked to an international drug trafficking operation. He had previously been listed among the FBI’s most-wanted fugitives.

Authorities revealed that the suspect allegedly played a major role in coordinating cross-border drug distribution networks. His arrest followed months of surveillance and cooperation between law enforcement agencies from multiple countries.

The case has shocked the global sports community, as the athlete was once celebrated for representing his country on the world stage. Many have expressed disbelief at the dramatic fall from fame.

Legal proceedings are expected to continue, with extradition to the United States likely in the coming weeks.
