Roberto Alomar has AIDS?

[missionhockey21]

And not just HIV, but full blown aids.

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.

Ridiculous. The guy is an a$$ for what he did, but the interesting thing is that his testing positive came in early 2005, soon after he left the Mets, he had refused all tests before then, but could AIDS have caused his sudden struggles in NY and thereafter?

Wow, just wow.

He was a jerkoff for not getting tested and having unprotected sex. But I feel bad for him, you don't wish HIV or AIDS on anyone.

As much of an ass as he was for it...I agree with pronk here. Like...that is an unforgivable act. But at the same time, it seems like he was suffering immensly, and that can be mentally breaking. And I would never, ever wish this horrible disease on anyone.

that is a very interesting proposition. it's highly possible

I don't feel sorry for Alomar one bit. No telling how many more people he infected by having unprotected sex. It doesn't take a lot of effort to get tested.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

O i'm totally not absolving him from any of the blame here. he absolutely did a horrible thing, and easily could have gotten tested

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.

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

limp unprotected sex? That doesn't usually go too well.

Roberto Alomar said Wednesday that he is in good health, a response to allegations made in a civil suit against him in which a former girlfriend claims he insisted on unprotected sex for four years despite having AIDS.
"This is a very private, personal matter and I greatly appreciate all the support I have received in the past few days from my family, friends and colleagues in baseball," the former All-Star second baseman said in a statement. "I am in very good health and I ask that you respect my privacy during this time."
"As for the lawsuit, it is filled with lies and I am deeply saddened that someone I cared for would make such terrible accusations and try to hurt me in this way," Alomar said in his statement.

We have a controversy, folks

These are some strange days for the sport of baseball.
I hope this all gets figured out in the best interests for all parties. Clearly someone here needs some help.

And to think he spit on that umpire. Ever had AIDS spit? Could be his mutant power.

[Foster]

I think the X Men already had a mutant spitting character.

Well if she was lying then it'd be simple enough to prove. He didn't deny it so I do wonder at this point. I guess only time will tell what the truth is.

[ljshorty89]

He did deny it. He came out the next day and said he was perfectly healthy...
