Football is one of the most physically demanding sports still popular. Players work hard to build their physique and maintain it. And sometimes, mistakes happen. Intentionally or otherwise. Just last month, the league suspended Bills DL Michael Hoecht and DT Larry Ogunjobi for 6 games for violating the NFL Performance-Enhancing Drug policy. This time, the 49ers OL Isaac Alarcon got caught in the line of fire. He made a mistake that cost him dearly
Two days ago, the league suspended the Niners player for 6 games without pay for violating the banned substance policy. He won’t be available for the first six games of the 2025 season now. Even though he’s not close to a starting slot, it will worry the HC Kyle Shanahan, who will be wary that they missed the playoffs last season because of injuries to players.

Following this update, the OL also released a statement. He talked about how demanding the league is. But he also claimed total ignorance about the protein containing a banned substance, which was found during a drug test. The OL wrote, “I used a protein that I included in my routine a couple of times with total ignorance that it contained a prohibited substance by the league which was detected in the last test I recently did.”
Stay tuned. There’s more to this story.
