One of the prevailing themes in the Rio Olympics has been controversy surrounding previous doping violaters being allowed to compete.
Bubba Watson came to the defense of one such athlete in an interview with Time Magazine.
Watson was asked about U.S. sprinter Justin Gatlin being able to participate in these Games, despite serving multiple track-and-field suspensions for doping, including a four-year ban after winning gold in Athens in 2004.
"Who cares about the past?" Watson said. "I mean, we've all had issues. People write negative things about me that aren't true."
Watson and Gatlin both grew up in the Florida Panhandle.
