I don't think steroids were illegal when he was winning his Mr. Olympia titles. His last win was 1980, and steroids were explicitly made illegal in the US in 1990.

Also, when he was winning Mr. Olympias everyone was using steroids. It was a level playing field. Very different from a sport like cycling where steroids or blood doping is banned.

Everyone in body building posture tested leagues is still using steroids. Probably the winners in the tested leagues are using steroids too, just like everyone in cycling is, even though they don’t have untested leagues.
