Former Cowboys fan favorite receives 6-game suspension from NFL
Former Cowboys fan favorite receives 6-game suspension from NFL A former fan favorite in Dallas has run into some trouble that will certainly not help him as he continues working toward his breakthrough moment on the NFL stage. Offensive lineman Isaac Alarcón has been suspended six games without pay for a violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Alarcón has been with the San Francisco 49ers since early 2024 but served last season on their practice squad. He has yet to appear in an official game. The 26-year-old native of Monterrey, Mexico spent four years with the Cowboys beginning in 2020. As part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, he remained with the team as a developmental project but did not take up an official roster spot. Despite being a benchwarmer on a team packed with superstars, Alarcón did gain a small bit of individual fame during the HBO series Hard Knocks, which followed the Cowboys through training camp in the summer of 2021. The 6-foot-7-inch hopeful's story and his football journey from south of the border made for compelling television, but his big highlight came when cameras caught him coveting a taste of the birthday cake presented on the practice field to quarterback Dak Prescott. Alarcón's roster exemption (and guaranteed spot on the Dallas practice squad) ended after the 2022 season. The Cowboys kept him in 2023 but moved him from offensive line to the other side of the ball, training him as a defensive tackle under Dan Quinn. He appeared in three preseason contests but was released prior to the start of the season. The 49ers took him on following the 2023 season and moved him back to the offensive line. Alarcón will be allowed to participate in the team's offseason program, attend training camp, and appear in preseason games. His six-game suspension will go into effect with the start of the 2025 regular season... provided he makes the 53-man roster.

Bollo Natural Fruit expands with Cortijo Cuevas acquisition
Spain-based Bollo Natural Fruit has acquired compatriot Cortijo Cuevas, specialising in fresh-cut fruit. Bollo is backed by London-headquartered investor Fremman Capital and has purchased Cortijo Cuevas from Madrid-based Goros Investments for an undisclosed sum. In a statement, Bollo said the acquisition of Granada-based Cortijo Cuevas 'strengthens its leadership' in the premium fruit segment. Bollo, which was set up in 2019, added that the deal aligns with 'current consumer trends,' as demand for convenience and easy-to-consume products continues to rise. The pre-prepared fruit category is gaining momentum as consumers increasingly prioritise convenience, health, and flavour in their daily diets, the owner of the Bollo and Bruñó brands explained, adding that the deal will bring pineapple into its portfolio for the first time. Its existing range includes avocados, grapes, and oranges, supported by more than 10,000 hectares of owned and managed farmland, and a packaging capacity of 800,000 tones, according to the statement. Bollo CEO Antonio Alarcón described the deal as a 'key step' in the company's growth strategy, calling Cortijo Cuevas a 'natural fit.' 'We are confident that this integration will allow us to accelerate our growth and offer consumers added value through a segment in which, while mastery of raw materials is important, mastery of processes is equally important,' Alarcón added. Bollo said that the deal marks the culmination of Cortijo Cuevas's transformation since 2020 under the ownership of Goros. The acquired business owns the Nudefruit brand sold into local supermarkets. The acquisition is expected to generate synergies that will 'improve logistical efficiency, traceability' and enhance Bollo's ability to adapt to the industry's evolution. Over time, Cortijo Cuevas has upgraded its operations, streamlined its supply chain, and reinforced its presence in the fresh-cut segment. Cortijo Cuevas CEO Marcos Tarancón said that 'joining a group of the size and reputation of Bollo Natural Fruit represents a great opportunity'.

Williams Alarcón underwent surgery, how long will he be out at Boca? 🏥
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Williams Alarcón's injury marred what would have been a perfect night for Boca Juniors at La Chilean midfielder left the field in tears in the first half against Defensa y Justicia, which was later confirmed to be a ligament rupture in his right knee. This Monday, the former Huracán player underwent surgery, and the time he will have to wait to return to the field was confirmed. 📸 ALEJANDRO PAGNI - AFP or licensors The 24-year-old midfielder will be out until at least mid-May, which means he will miss the rest of the Apertura Tournament, which Boca closes on May 4 against Tigre (current runner-up to Xeneize in Zone B, and potential leader if they beat Central Córdoba in Victoria this afternoon). Alarcón started against Defensa y Justicia, playing in place of the Basque Ander Herrera, who was left out of the team due to a muscle injury. The Chilean has been an important piece for Fernando Gago and had played in all the matches of the season, with the only exception of the match against Aldosivi, where he was on the bench. The injury unfortunately puts the brakes on the good start Alarcón had since his arrival at Boca, and leaves Gago without an important piece, at a time when the team is on the rise. Meanwhile, Xeneize leaves behind the temporary setback caused by the elimination from the Copa Libertadores 2025, the team is starting to find itself and consolidate, and with six consecutive victories in the local tournament, it firmly plants its flag to fight for the title. 📸 Marcelo Endelli - 2025 Getty Images
