Hey man, I'm going to quote you on this !
Here is an example: Hurtado de Catalfo, et. al:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubme...549927/related
"Animals fed with the olive oil and coconut oil diets showed the highest testicular levels of antioxidants in addition to significantly high levels of testosterone and 3beta- or 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes"
I could quote some others but it's not really necessary. A lot of people use CLA supplementation as a method of ergogenic assistance.
edit: just found this article :

To anyone else reading this: This post should not be misconstrued as me saying CLA and fats and fatty acids should be a focus or ingested disproportionately to an otherwise well-balanced diet. But, it should be considered as part of an overall diet/exercise program.
