A former girlfriend of ex-Met player Roberto Alomar is claiming that that the baseball player knowingly exposed her and her children to the AIDS virus.
Ilya Dall, 31, was Alomar’s girlfriend from 2002 until last October. Dall says although she saw signs of his health deteriorating, Alomar denied he had the virus and insisted on having unprotected sex.
Dall is suing Alomar for $15 million dollars for punitive damages and emotional distress.
The suit claims that “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.”
Dall claims that after a couple years of trying to convince him to be tested that Alomar finally agreed in 2006 after suffering a cough, fatigue and shingles. She also claims that it was confirmed he had the deadly disease after having a spinal tap which showed he had full-blown AIDS. According to the suit, at that time his skin had turned purple and he was foaming at the mouth.
She says after the tests came back positive that she quit having unprotected sex with him, but up until that point he vehemently denied having AIDS.
His father, Mets bench coach Sandy Alomar says he finds it hard to believe that his son has the disease. He stated, “That’s the first time we ever heard of that…I imagine I would know.”
Alomar’s attorney refused to disclose whether or not his client has AIDS but he did say that the lawsuit was ridiculous. “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 that during her time with Alomar that she noticed cold sores in his mouth, a persistent cough, thrush, and was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia purpura, a blood disorder sometimes linked to HIV.
The lawsuit also claims that he told her he was raped by two Hispanic men when he was 17.
Alomar, 41, quit baseball due to health issues in 2005.
