(Reuters) - British weightlifter Sonny Webster has been banned from competing after admitting on his Facebook page on Monday that he had tested positive for the banned substance ostarine. "Weightlifting is my life and everything that I live and breathe and I would never risk losing this by knowingly taking a banned substance." Webster said in the months since learning of his positive test he has spent his life's savings trying to find out how the banned substance got into his system. "The money was spent on lawyers, analysis of samples and supplements and on the legal team who did all they could to establish the source," said Webster. While Webster maintains his innocence, he said he will grudgingly accept a four year ban without the financial resources to appeal the decision.
