Roberto Alomar Has Aides

So says his former girlfriend, in a lawsuit...

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 couldn't be reached for comment, according to the NY Post, but some of the further details seem to be more damning and, well, less batshit insane, such as a physical taken at the behest of Tampa Bay revealing thrombocytopenia purpura, which could be related to AIDS.

I... er, really have no clue what to say about this, to be honest, especially if it's true.

I hope this is false

plus, his father has already denied all of this

This really puts spitting on umpires in perspective...

Let alone A-Rod.

And while I obviously hope it’s not true, the South Park reference put a smile on my face.

You do realize that saliva can't transmit AIDS, right?

Agreed

Spitting in a man’s face is not going to give him AIDS. That is an unbelievably ignorant statement.

I'm sure he does, but apparently they weren't around when all this was going on

If it is true

This is sad for him and the women he knew. I am 40. Alomar is the best second baseman i have seen in my life. Joe Morgan is a little before my time. Ryne Sandberg is a good argument. Biggio is just a step behind. Jeff Kent is not in this guys league. If you polled gm’s and said you could get a 19 yr old kent or the same age alomar i would believe every gm would take alomars all around play. If kent makes the hall and alomar does not it is a shame to a real baseball fan, not a number counter. If this is true i wish all the people involved good will.

That was my thought as well!!!

Aides is a South Park reference

There’s an episode where Jared the Subway guy reveals that his weight loss was helped by his aides.

1. this is the most absurd lawsuit ever, she was “forced” to date and have sex with him for four years.

2. i love the south park reference in reverse. jarrod has aids, alomar has aides, or is it vise versa?

by heapofoatmeal on Feb 11, 2009 4:54 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

It's really not absurd if he hid the disease from her.

People all over the country get charged with a crime for this. I don’t know the details on the crime, but I know there have been cases in Washington, Arkansas, and Michigan where a man was charged with anything from intentionally transmitting the virus to knowing he had it and not informing his partner.

Aside from the $15 million, Alomar could be in legal trouble if it can be proven.

the way i read it is she stayed dating and having unprotected sex with him for four years even though she suspected he had aids.

i know that aids isnt nearly as obvious as most other stds but still, four years, she HAS to have some personal accountability. you think any of your girlfriends would stay with you for a week if she suspected you had an std, let alone let you share it with her.

Being HIV+ is also different from having AIDS

She's claiming full-blown AIDS

and that the reason he had to retire was because he was getting opportunistic infections.

Not that it matters. The complaint reads like a bad joke, and until something to the contrary surfaces, I’m assuming that 2/3 of teh stuff in there is made up or this woman’s own paranoia (which she admits to having in the complaint).

Vogt early, Vogt often.

so....

Alomar has purple skin and A Rod has an orange face? Tejada’s face was green today when pleading guilty.

man, the minor leagues were tough back in the day.

Alomar

there is nothing certain that he has AIDS. Right now he is in a meeting with his lawyer Robert Bach. His current girlfriend has speak out publicly that all is a lie. That this woman tell him when they breakup that she will destroy him. He is about to get married in a few weeks, so I really hope all is a lie. He has another former girlfriend that last week married White Sox minor leaguer Miguel Negron and she also said that she is clean, so again I hope everything is a lie. Time will tell.
