Typically, there are two accepted paths of reason for why a cat (male or female, neutered or not) would exhibit this kind of behaviour if it had not been doing so previously.

Psychological: Your cat may be trying to tell you something. Could you cat be distressed about something? (like something/someone familiar being absent or man-handling by children) Is the litter too smelly/dirty or being used along with another cat that is bullying or territorial?

Health: Is your cat older? Perhaps it's displaying symptoms of an alzheimer's-like cat disease, or maybe it is sick and having near-litter accidents.

Suggestions for discouraging this behaviour include keeping the litter very clean; clean it out daily. Maybe try a new litter brand. Keep watch on the cat for a few days for any signs of physical or emotional discomfort and provide companionship and reassuring patting (provided the cat wants companionship - don't smother them). if you have more than one cat, consider getting a second litter box - this may be a turf war.

Is it true that when a cat is neutered it is lazy?

When most animals are 'fixed' they do overcome a laziness Answer: It's rather better to say, the cat becomes "relaxed" when they're neutered/spayed ( Especially male cats being neutered). They don't have to prepare themselves for going into heat season and mark all the territories, which makes it a lot less on their daily schedule as well.
