Alex Rodriguez reportedly pounded his hand on a table during a grievance hearing on Wednesday and proceeded to walk out after he learned that MLB commissioner Bud Selig was not required to testify.

Shortly after the Yankees slugger left the hearing, a spokesperson released a statement on behalf of Rodriguez.

"I am disgusted with this abusive process, designed to ensure that the player fails," Rodriguez said in the statement as reported by ESPN. "I have sat through 10 days of testimony by felons and liars, sitting quietly through every minute, trying to respect the league and the process. This morning, after Bud Selig refused to come in and testify about his rationale for the unprecedented and totally baseless punishment he hit me with, the arbitrator selected by MLB and the players' association refused to order Selig to come in and face me.

"The absurdity and injustice just became too much. I walked out and will not participate any further in this farce."

The hearings were in the 12th day after the MLB Players' Association filed a grievance with hopes of overturning the 211-game suspension that was slapped on Rodriguez by MLB. He is alleged to have violated the league's drug policy after his involvement with the Biogenesis scandal that rocked baseball.

Following the day's developments, it was unclear what the next step would be for Rodriguez's team or for the league.

"We don't know what we're going to do," a spokesman for Rodriguez said, according to ESPN. "The fight's still going on, but most likely it's going to end up in federal court."
