No, there are studies proving this along with casual observation.

Studies are flawed. No-one takes steroids without training and looks like a bodybuilder.

You need to look at what the study concluded. It never said anything about "looking like a bodybuilder," whatever that means. It proved that those who use steroids and didn't train at all gained more muscle than those who trained with weights naturally. Those who trained and used steroids gained the most muscle.

only gained a few pounds of scale weight but bodyfat went from 6% to 13-14%

Nope. They gain bloat. It's not muscle unless they train.

This was his best shape. Massive, full, ripped. This was either from the North American Championships in 77 or a contest called USA vs. The World in 78. He looked great here.

It's a shame that there are so few pictures of these contests, unless you happen to own the magazinez from the 60s, 70's, and early 80's, it's hard to find pictures of many of these shows

Nope. He was small compared to a lot of other bodybuilders.
