Come To Think of It...Bombshell Lawsuit Claims Roberto Alomar Has AIDS

A former girlfriend of ex-Met Roberto Alomar claims that the former star second baseman knew he had full-blown AIDS and yet still insisted on having unprotected sex with her, according to a lawsuit disclosed by the New York Daily News.

Apparently, Alomar was diagnosed with a blood disorder in 2006 and told to take a test for HIV, which he refused to do at the time. Alomar retired in 2005 over what was described as "health issues."

Alomar's father and Mets bench coach, Sandy Alomar, and his lawyer, Charles Bach, each deny that Alomar has AIDS. His agent claims the lawsuit is "frivolous" and "without merit."

The lawsuit from llya Dall seeks $15 million in damages.

According to the Daily News report, "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.

The Daily News reports "the suit was filed Jan. 30 in Queens Supreme Court. Alomar had it transferred to Brooklyn Federal Court Tuesday."

The online news report goes on to say, "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," the suit says."

In 1996, Alomar spit in the face of umpire John Hirschbeck. A fellow ump suggested that Alomar should take an AIDS test. Hirschbect says he has no concerns now, and that he wishes him well. But it's very ironic in retrospect, come to think of it.

Wow.
