Good post!
Looks like he could actually be 8 to 10 meters back in the photo and a bit to the side behind someone who is blocking ?
While vigilantics can be entertaining, you need airtight evidence otherwise itll backfire as self destructive click bait.
Instead of "I saw someone throw away a paper bag" you'd need "here is the paper bag I retrieved later to find filled with unmarked 100 dollar bills and a moustache and passports"
And even then, wasn't there a site that posted pics of cheaters, and people could email or pay to have thier photo removed... Didn't he get sued to bankruptcy?
you have a good thing going, gotta weigh up the risks here
Just be sure to do it well. That would mean
In your example picture, the rear guy could just be starting to overtake and in any case he is not actually drafting very obviously!
If you look at the distance between the points where the two wheels (of one bike) touch the ground you realize that that is about two small rectangles, but makes up approx 1m (wheelbase of a tri-bike). So how Often could you fit that distance in the space between the two riders? #Geometry

edit: You'd have to subtract one wheel diameter from that 8.32 meters I guess because I was working with the contact points on the ground...

- two pictures of the same pair from a side-on view
- within a 25 second timeframe
- with the second guy clearly drafting
