This is a shocking allegation to say the least. Alomar's lawyer would not comment as to whether or not the former second basemen was HIV positive but according to the NYDN he said that the lawsuit was totally frivolous. He also said that the allegations were baseless but that Alomar would like to keep his health status private.
"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."
The article goes on to describe the history between Dall and Alomar and includes Dalls accessions of Alomar's diminished health and positive HIV tests. It also goes on to say that Alomar confided in Dall about an incident when he had been raped by two gay men after a Mexican baseball game when he was 17.
