Roberto Alomar placed on MLB ineligible list over 2014 sexual misconduct allegation

Roberto Alomar, a 12-time All-Star who had been serving as a consultant to Major League Baseball, has been placed on the league's ineligible list following an investigation into a 2014 sexual misconduct allegation.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement Friday that an independent investigation was made into a baseball industry employee's allegation.

"Having reviewed all of the available evidence from the now completed investigation, I have concluded that Mr. Alomar violated MLB's policies, and that termination of his consultant contract and placement on MLB's Ineligible List are warranted," Manfred said.

"We are grateful for the courage of the individual who came forward.
