There's also a report on the chess24 "wall" https://new.chess24.com/wall/news/magnus-carlsen-withdraws-from-the-sinquefield-cup, including "The obvious implication of Carlsen's withdrawal and other changes in St. Louis is that Magnus suspects foul play but is unwilling to make a public accusation."
