What people have criticized is the use of a persons name or handle when there is
no proof that the person cheated.

Originally Odell posted the game with only his own handle, though a simple
search of his games would reveal the other handle. Then after being asked for
the timestamp for each move he posted the game with both his and his opponents
handle.

game.
