Re: Roberto Alomar- sad story if it's true...

i can't see how it would. to be honest, with so many of baseball's biggest stars falling in the steroids scandal (which is entirely about on-field performance, stats, and HOF eligibility), i think the entire debacle actually places a bigger premium on guys who didn't juice it like alomar. look who's fallen so far: mcgwire, sosa, palmeiro, clemens, bonds, arod. it's a who's who of former HOF locks. the whole thing makes rare guys like alomar and griffey, ripken, gwynn, henderson, etc look even better than they did previously. in a worst case scenario, if alomar does have HIV or AIDS then it's unfortunate but it's far from an immediate death sentence. for pete's sake, here's a recent pic of alomar with his new girlfriend:
an update:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Roberto Alomar's new squeeze Wednesday denounced a claim by his ex-lover that the baseball great insisted on having unprotected sex while he was HIV-positive.
"A vile lie," voluptuous model Maripily Rivera told a Puerto Rico TV station, the newspaper Primera Hora reported. "It's not true. It's a very delicate case." Rivera, who has been dating Alomar for six months, lashed out at Ilya Dall, the Queens woman who has filed a $15 million suit against the former Met. She claimed that when Dall broke up with Alomar in October, she told him: "I will destroy you."
....
His new girlfriend said she's standing by him. "When you're on the side of truth, you have nothing to hide," the dark-haired bombshell said. "I support him and I love him more than ever."
She said Alomar, who played for the Mets in 2002 and 2003, betrayed no sign of illness. "He has never gotten sick on me. We train together. And he has those beautiful, well-defined arms," she said.
Dall declined to comment at her home in Whitestone, Queens - a $5 million mansion bought by a trust set up by Alomar...
The suit does not say what treatment Alomar sought, but medical experts say retroviral drugs can work miracles with even advanced cases of AIDS. "Within months, you can drop the levels of virus in bloodstream to undetectable levels," said Dr. Antonio Urbina, medical director of the HIV/AIDS Education and Training Center at the city's St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers."

chris: it seems everything dall wanted to come out already has, which i imagine is why this thing was made public. at this point, it seems a little late for hush money from alomar. even though the court tossed out the adams/boggs lawsuit, boggs still paid adams some chump change at the very end to send her back under the rock from which she crawled. whatever happens in that courtroom will likely not be disclosed to the public anyway. i imagine that sealing the details will be a part of it all.
