Former University of Southern California athlete Owen “O-Dog” Hanson lived a double life.

Known as the “Cocaine Quarterback,” Hanson went from popular college athlete to the leader of a massive international criminal operation involving drug trafficking, sports gambling, and money laundering across the U.S., Australia, and Latin America.
