Indeed it can and does happen in some circumstances.  Usually this is  
associated with either someone new to training, or to someone coming back  
after a long layoff.  People who are past the beginner stage seldom  
accomplish both at once.  As for people on steroids, well...  I'd be  
surprised to learn any of them were following a paleo diet.  It seems  
rather silly to follow a health-optimizing diet if you're intentionally  
polluting your body with known dangerous substances.
