In the $15 million action filed in Brooklyn Federal court, Ilya Dall, of Queens, said the ballplayer tested positive for HIV in 2006 and a doctor later told him he had AIDS.
Dall said she tested negative for the disease but is claiming punitive damages for emotional distress. She also claims her children were exposed to the virus.
Alomar, 41, a 12-time All Star, who retired from baseball in 2005, began dating Dall in 2002, and began having unprotected sex with her a short time later, according to the suit.
Her suit does not claim that he knew he had AIDS when they were having unprotected sex but he had reason to think he might because his doctors kept advising him to be tested. He procrastinated and told her he was disease free, the suit says. In 2004, she said, she noticed he had cold sores. The following year he was diagnosed with a *lo** disorder that's linked to AIDS, the suit says.
Also in 2005, Alomar told Dall that when he once was raped by two Mexican men after playing a ballgame in New Mexico, according to the suit.
Other symptoms began to develop, she says, including erectile dysfunction, a chronic cough, and fatigue.
A doctor insisted that the longtime second baseman take an HIV test, but Alomar continually refused, the suit charges.
In January 2006, the suit alleges, he finally got tested and it was positive. Nine days later, doctors discovered a mass in his chest, and a spinal tap revealed that he had full blown AIDS.
Alomar's two seasons with the Mets were considered disappointing, but he is considered a possible Hall of Fame candidate and may be elected when he becomes eligible next year.
But he will forever be remembered for an ugly incident in 1996 when, as a member of the Baltimore Orioles, he spat in the face of umpire John Hirschback during an argument over a called third strike.
He was suspended for five games. At the time there were allegation that the ump used a slur against Alomar, but that was never proven.
Alomar's father, Sandy, is the Mets bench coach. His brother, Sandy Jr., is a Met instructor.
