Did he deserve to have those points taken away? Absolutely not and the team fought for the entire year to get them re-instated and the appeals lost. Needless to say he still wouldn't have won, which is the reason why this conversation happened. Edwards was already too high and Corser had won 5 races around mid-season and was on the rise.
Finally, the team is ultimately responsible for the rider. In the case of Yamaha, it was NOT Haga's team, he was just a rider on the team. Its the team manager and nutritionist's fault, for not following the rule book.

The difference between the way
you think the world
should be versus the way things
really are is substantial enough to reflect your lack of understanding and experience in terms that are as opposed as fantasy and reality.
Accountability is a cornerstone of credibility and success and even if we make mistakes due to a lack of knowledge or understanding of what is expected of us, we must ultimately take responsibility if we are to overcome our mistakes and be taken seriously. This concept of taking responsibility is something that you seem to have difficulty understanding and embracing and was demonstrated here by your inability to man up to your careless prevarications regarding your racing exploits. Liars and those who blame others for their failures are people who are afraid to take responsibility for their mistakes.
The reality is that Haga, whether knowingly or unknowingly, cheated as per the rules of the game. It was his responsibility to know the rules. Not his team or his dietitians. The sooner you learn this lesson, Tye, the sooner people will begin to take you more seriously in whatever you endeavor to do in life.
