Baseball great Roberto Alomar says an ex’s $15 million lawsuit claiming he knew he had AIDS yet insisted on having unprotected sex is “filled with lies,” the New York Post reports. “I am in very good health,” the ex-Met said. “I am deeply saddened that someone I care for would make such terrible accusations and try to hurt me in this way,” he said in a statement reported by ESPN.
Speaking to a Puerto Rican TV station, Alomar’s current girlfriend called the suit “a vile lie” and said the ex, Ilya Dall, is “trying to destroy him.” “He's never gotten sick with me,” Maripily Rivera said, adding that “we’re not surprised by the allegations.” Meeting with lawyers yesterday in New York, Alomar was “looking thin,” the Post notes.
