If both drivers have agreed to the strategy laid out by the Team, does that not make the failure of both drivers to abide by that an unsporting act on both their parts?

Hamilton and Alonso were both 'unsporting', but there is one crucial difference. Alonso broke the rules and Hamilton didn't.
It is not against the rules to ignore team orders / strategy. However, it is against the rules to deliberately impede an opponent in the pitlane.
