Former Met Roberto Alomar, the great second baseman with 10 Golden Gloves and 12 All-Star appearances, is being sued by a former girlfriend for $15 million. The charges? The Daily News reports that Queens resident Ilya Dall claims "Alomar has full-blown AIDS but insisted on having unprotected sex."
Dall says she lived with Alomar for three years and "watched in horror as his health worsened." The Post points out Dall's "suit does not claim that he knew he had AIDS when they were having unprotected sex - but he had reason to think he might because his doctors kept advising him to be tested." After some health issues, Dall claims a doctor told him to get an HIV test in 2005, but Alomar allegedly refused and said he was fine. From the News:
Dall said Alomar finally got tested in January 2006 while suffering from a cough, fatigue and shingles.Another claim in the lawsuit: "In April 2005, Alomar told Dall he was suffering from erectile dysfunction and confided 'he was raped by two Mexican men after playing a ballgame in New Mexico or a Southwestern state when he was 17.'" Dall, who says she tested negative, is suing for damages from "emotional distress.""The test results of him being HIV-positive was given to him and the plaintiff on or about Feb.6, 2006," the $15 million negligence suit says.
Nine days later, the couple went to see a disease specialist who discovered a mass in the retired second baseman's chest, the court papers say.
Alomar's skin had turned purple, he was foaming at the mouth and a spinal tap "showed he had full-blown AIDS," the suit says.
Alomar, who won World Series championships with the Toronto Blue Jays and is remembered for spitting in an umpire's face while with the Baltimore Orioles, retired from baseball in 2005 for health issues, but his lawyer said, "We believe this is a totally frivolous lawsuit. These allegations are baseless. He's healthy and would like to keep his health status private. We'll do our talking in court."

...Dall claims a doctor told him to get an AIDS test in 2005...
If this isn't a direct quote, it should be written as 'HIV test'.
thank you.
Thank you for pointing that out.
Many of my friends who are disgruntled Mets fans wished him ill after he dogged it in NY, but this is ridiculous.
That ump he spit on better get tested.
I remember back in the early 1990s when he was on Toronto, he had this wholesome image and appeared in a McCain's frozen french fries commercial in Canada.

It has been alleged that the umpire called him an unflattering term for a homosexual and that's why he spit in his face.
this is a very grim story. this woman and her lawyer have no shame.
If you deliberately spit on someone in the street, can't you be charged with assault? The law really does only apply to the peasants.
Wow
Round 8
(In an electronic information age
Greek tragedies come in all forms)
I pick up the ringing telephone
And it’s instant madness
Who’s that! Who's that! He yells
Infuriating to think who would call me
as his footwork moves him closer to listen
Rage pounds behind his eyes blinding him
In possessiveness choking off
Any meaningful communication
He regards me as an ornament
of conquest to do with as he pleases
I try and dismiss this round of threats
with a practiced turn of my back
Hoping to ignore the impending drama
The way boulders in the middle of rushing streams
succumb to the waters constant slap
Merely enduring immutable nature
Get off the phone! He spits through
a mouth tightly drawn like a boxer
waiting to finish with a brutal flurry
Thumbs tighten over knuckles white
in fisted manic rage
My body still bearing fresh marks
Bruised and beaten oozing pinkness
in spots like the colour
of a cat which alternately licks
and then bites until it is frantically raw
I squat in a darkened corner holding
onto the phone as if it were a life line
of polite conversation and escape
Hoping he will never check my e-mail
His eyes dog me like a thief
The scent of oppression and terror
always in my nostrils
He stands there like a conqueror
waiting for me to stroke his body
and then bend my
being to its hardness
How many times has he jerked some dress
over my head leaving me without face
A perverted pleasure of hateful excavation
I can taste my fearful breath
and it sickens me like sour milk
And in that instant I can see
a mare lying in the snow
Strangled by it’s own umbilicus
which is still attached to the foal
while life bleeds away
into coldness as stark and real
as wiping my own blood
from off the porcelain bathroom tile
Wrong number I say arising and walking
cautiously past him as if at the end
of another round when pugilists halt
their feral beatings by agreement
Always wary and on guard as I
calmly replace the receiver
waiting for the next combat to commence
And he believes he has won again
Never really seeing my eyes
or the slight smile of resolve
like an empowered Clytemnestra waiting
to slash out of that shadowed space.
So I'm guessing she was a gold-digger all along? She was girlfriend, not wife. No strings attached. She could have crossed her legs and said no, or simply got out of bed and walked if he refused. Why did she stay so long and freely have this unprotected sex if she had a problem with it? I say ZERO for her and her gold-digging lawyers.
Sorry, but it doesn't even seem that she is HIV positive (unless I missed it). What the hell is her injury???
poor guy. this is appalling. How would you feel if you had been sleeping with someone who was HIV positive? She may be negative now, but it can still develop down the line. I feel so sorry for both of these people. No-one deserves this, ok, maybe Madoff.
