If you hang around bodybuilding forums you will hear to avoid Ibuprofens as they hurt your ‘gains’ Perhaps bro-science was right in this case

Bodybuilders tend to not rely on their testes for testosterone production though

Not all bodybuilders juice, and even when they do, there's a wide variety of ways to increase your gains without straight up shooting testosterone.

What I've read is that NSAIDs in reducing inflamantion, it can slow down the mobilization of immune cells that help clean up damaged tissues and promote new tissues.

NSAID pain relievers don't have any anti-inflammatory properties when they are taken in over-the-counter dosages.

Your comment intrigued me so I Googled and found this[1] article. Not sure what to think. The sample size in the study was even smaller than that in the original article.
