Former baseball superstar, Roberto Alomar, is being sued for $15 million by his one time girlfriend, Ilya Dall, who claims that he insisted on having unprotected sex while knowingly having the AIDS virus.

The 31 year old woman alleges that Roberto Alomar, who she lived with for three years, insisted on having unprotected sex without ever divulging his condition. As his health continued to deteriorate the ex-Met finally got tested in January 2006 where, according to papers filed in state and federal court, he turned out to be HIV positive.

According to the New York Daily News; the suit filed on Jan. 30 states that, one month after they began dating Alomar convinced Dall to have unprotected sex and assured her he was disease free. In 2004, Dall says she noticed cold sores in his mouth. In 2005, after a physical exam ordered by the Tampa Bay Rays, he was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia purpura, a blood disorder sometimes linked to HIV, she claims.

The doctor told him to have an HIV test and he refused, she says, stating he had been tested and was AIDS-free.

In April 2005, Roberto 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.

The couple broke up last October and Dall is now suing over punitive damages claiming that Roberto Alomar caused her emotional stress and exposed her children to the virus. When asked about the case, his father stated he had no prior knowledge of the situation; his mother chose not to comment.

Alomar’s lawyer, Charles Bach dismissed the case as “totally frivolous” but did not comment on the veracity of the AIDS allegations stating simply, “He's healthy and would like to keep his health status private. We'll do our talking in court."

So far Roberto Alomar has not been reached for comment.
