I don't know what Anand said, but if I remember correctly Mr. Lacrosse was accussed of cheating, using computer help during the game. He was crucified in chess forums across the net.
Mig Greengard's comment : (
see here, Mig was official commentator on ICC for this event) :
"To me it was just a very accurate game that became technical early and betrayed no indicators of inhuman play. That he played the technical phase much better than Anand is obviously remarkable, but that's what simul play is all about. Kudos!"
Susan Polgar's comment (

"Congratulations Marc! Well done! And thank you for helping out a good cause! Best wishes, Susan Polgar"
ICC cheating detection software is one of the best ones and catches cheaters everyday.They did not find anything suspicious. Moreover when you look at the game there were quite a few dubious moves of mine, including a forced win that most programs could find in seconds ...
It's not my fault if Mr Anand was not at his best in this game of which I am still very proud. No champion can win every single simultaneous game he plays. And here it was a simul in its most difficult form : a time-controlled one. I had 90 minutes for the game whereas Mr Anand had the same time for 19 games ...
I do not see how and where I was crucified. There was just a little noise by a few jealous guys without any kind of proof.
