In a draft legal OWS race, is it good or bad etiquette to draft off another person for all/majority/much of a race and then swing around and try to take the win?

I recently watched the replay of the 2008 Olympics Men's 10k Open Water Swim. The winner, Maarten van der Weuden, sat in the pack the entire time and drafted. He sprinted at the very end and probably only led for about the last 100m. That's just the way the game is played. The other interesting thing about him was that he was sighting practically every stroke - very unusual.
