Baseball great Roberto Alomar has full-blown AIDS but insisted on having unprotected sex, his ex-girlfriend charged Tuesday in a bombshell lawsuit.

The shocking claim was leveled by Ilya Dall, 31, who said she lived with the ex-Met for three years and watched in horror as his health worsened.

In papers filed in state and federal court, Dall said Alomar finally got tested in January 2006 while suffering from a cough, fatigue and shingles.

"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, 41, who quit baseball over health issues in 2005, could not be reached for comment.

His lawyer, Charles Bach, would not say whether Alomar is HIV-positive. "We believe this is a totally frivolous lawsuit. These allegations are baseless," Bach said. "He's healthy and would like to keep his health status private. We'll do our talking in court."

Alomar's father, Mets bench coach Sandy Alomar, said the claims were news to him. "That's the first time we ever heard of that," he said from Puerto Rico.

He didn't think his son could keep a serious illness secret. "I imagine I would know," he said.

Dall, a mother of two who has run a massage spa in Queens, would not discuss the suit.

"I have no comment," she said outside her lavish home in Whitestone, Queens, after getting out of a black Cadillac Escalade.

She referred inquiries to her lawyer, Anthony Piacentini, who declined to comment.

The suit was filed Jan. 30 in Queens Supreme Court. Alomar had it transferred to Brooklyn Federal Court Tuesday.

The court papers outline the couple's relationship, starting in 2002. A month after they began dating, Alomar convinced Dall to have unprotected sex and assured her he was disease-free, the suit alleges.

In 2004, Dall says she noticed cold sores in his mouth. In 2005, after a physical exam ordered by the Tampa Bay Rays, he was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia purpura, a blood disorder sometimes linked to HIV, she claims.

The doctor told him to have an HIV test and he refused, she says, stating he had been tested and was AIDS-free.

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.

It goes on to say that around the same time Alomar developed a persistent cough and was bedridden with extreme fatigue.

He developed thrush, a yeast infection, and was told by a doctor to take an HIV test - but refused, Dall claims.

"I don't have HIV," he told her repeatedly, the suit charges.

A few months later, the couple moved to Cleveland, where Alomar supposedly tested positive. Dall claims that after she learned Alomar had AIDS, she tested negative and no longer had unprotected sex with him.

They broke up last October.

She is demanding at least $15 million in punitive damages, claiming Alomar caused her emotional distress and exposed her children to the virus.

"He jeopardized the health, well-being and life of the plaintiff, which caused her to have a fear of contracting AIDS, often referred to as AIDS phobia," the suit says.

Considered one of baseball's greatest second basemen, Alomar stirred controversy in 1996 by spitting in the face of umpire John Hirschbeck.

The incident prompted fellow ump Al Clark to say, "If I were John, I'd insist that Robbie Alomar take an AIDS test."

HIV has never been transmitted through saliva, however, and last night Hirschbeck said he had no concerns about his safety - or hard feelings from their on-field run-in.

"You're telling me something I'm shocked at," Hirschbeck said. "I wish him nothing but the best."

This makes me miss steroid talk. What a horrible story. Is this the first time Alomar's health status has been reported to the public? I don't remember knowing he had AIDS.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Well, they mention that his father says he didn't know anything about him having AIDS. Hell, I thought he was married to that American tennis player that plays for France.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Just a weird story all the way around

I will say,we haven't seen Alomar ANYWHERE in like 3 or 4 years

No TV announcing spots, no awards dinners, etc

 

[Michael Brown]

This is a large leap to conclusions, but there were rampant rumors about a New York Met that was gay back during the time Alomar played. Not sure how much the national media picked up on the story, but the NY-area speculation was that it may have been Piazza. I played the guessing game and said I thought it was Alomar.

Whether you want to connect that story to this one, is up to you. I'm not trying to spread rumors here contrary to what this looks like -- I'm just speculating blindly and I have no basis for any of this stuff.

ETA: I realize it's his GIRLfriend that is suing him and that he was married to Mary Pierce (tennis player). And furthermore before anyone gets offended, I realize straight guys can get AIDS too. Just statistically, it's far less likely he would've gotten it from a female that's all.

Not necessarily. Maybe he doesn't have AIDS at all, and this can become a full-blown bash-fest on golddiggers and frivolous lawsuits and tort reform. One can yet hope. Maybe Alomar's lawyer is telling the truth.Doubtful, but not out of the realm of possibility just yet.

Even if he were HIV positive at the time, the odds of positive transmission via that little saliva is infinitesimally small

If someone with HIV spit at me and it went into my eye and mouth Id be nervous (although I realize the odds are slim to none)

I really don't want anybody spitting in my face but that's just me.

 

[BoulderBob]

If Alomar knew he had HIV when he was sleeping around, I'm all for life in prison, or basically the death penalty. There is no excuse for this, if true...pissed your HOF chances down the drain as well Robbie....

With that being said, I hope this isn't the case...

 

[shadyridr]

Robbie says hes clean, the girl thats suing him is clean. Somethings not adding up here.

No I'm about 99.9% sure he has AIDS. Really there would be no reason for his ex to proceed if she was not convinced he had AIDS. I mean if she was lying she would know all he did was pop in and take a test and than this whole case would be thrown out. In addition to that he did not deny he had AIDS or HIV. He said he was healthy and this was a private matter but he never said he did not have AIDS.

I think you give some people way too much credit. tends to blur people's vision.
