I don't know if I believe this Jamie McDonald character.

They need to catch the perp on cctv or something to establish credibility.

You'd think he would have blended right in at Banff.

Heard he was chatting up some local girl, and her boyfriend got jealous.

Who'da thought that was possible ?

I just knew there had to be more to the story than poor British charity runner attacked for no reason by criminal Canadian thieves though.

$1:

He had gone to the hotel to have a beer with some people he had met at the party. He said "there was a group there that took a dislike" to him when he walked past one of the rooms.

"They came out and dragged me into their room and pulled me into the toilet and three men just continued to punch me in the head and in the body," McDonald told CBC's Ian Hanomansing. "And so I kind of just scrambled to get out of the hotel."

"Meanwhile, I left my bag which had all my possessions for this journey."

I don't think I'll be taking up a collection for this guy anytime soon.

Oh and...

$1:

RCMP say the assault was reported by McDonald the morning after around 8:45 a.m. MT. McDonald claimed the assault took place sometime between 2 a.m. and 3:45 a.m., but he wasn't sure which hotel he was at, the RCMP said.

"The victim admittedly consumed a large quantity of alcohol during the course of the evening," the RCMP said in the release.
