So, did the spider just sort of walk up to the fly, and grab him? Those flies must have piss-poor eyesight!

If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

not at all.the fly was on a lower leaf,so the spider crept to the edge,and pounced.happens in a split second.that,s why they call them jumping spiders.
as for the fly.they are very fast,and very hard to photograph,as they usually jump the flash
