Italian climber Aru out of Tour de France

AFP

Italy’s Fabio Aru, a former Vuelta winner and twice a podium finisher on the Giro d’Italia, on Monday withdrew from the Tour de France because of “physical problems”.

Aru, a renowned climber, will be replaced in the South African Qhubeka team for the epic June 26-July 18 stage race by Spain’s Carlos Barbero.

“I know what it takes to compete at the Tour and I felt that with the physical problems that I had over the weekend, my body is just not where it needs to be for me to be at my very best for the Grande Depart,” Aru said.

“After discussing the situation with the team I decided that it was in our best interests to withdraw from the team.”

FBI hunts former athlete accused of leading cocaine trafficking network

A former Olympic snowboarder has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, accused of running a drug cartel that trafficked hundreds of kilos of Colombian cocaine from Mexico to the U.S. and Canada.

Ryan Wedding, 43, from Thunder Bay, Canada, was included on the list Thursday, replacing alleged child rapist and murderer Alexis Flores.

Authorities believe Wedding fled to Mexico and is now under the protection of the Sinaloa Cartel. The FBI accuses him of leading a transnational drug trafficking network, orchestrating regular shipments of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and across the U.S.-Mexico border.

Known by aliases such as “El Jefe,” “Gigante,” and “Public Enemy,” Wedding is also accused of ordering multiple murders, including the 2023 killing of an innocent Canadian couple in a case of mistaken identity.
