I don't think so. Anabolic steroids have never been over the counter.
They are prescription only for medical purposes, not for performance enhancing purposes.
So
1. If a player is or was acquiring steroids with a prescription absent the medical purpose then he is or was acquiring them frauduently. ILLEGAL
2. If he is acquiring them without a prescription in the black market. ILLEGAL
Which is probably 99% of what's happening since they don't want a paper trail.

Is your point that since some players took steroids with no apparent success it therefore makes it ok? Since they were apparently unsuccessful in their attempt to cheat it is not cheating or illegal?
If B1 walks to the mound and takes a swing at F1, we throw him out of the game even if he doesn't make contact, because intent matters.
