Jason Goldberg, former bike retail employee turned team manager and pro athlete agent, has been arrested in New York.
The arrest was based on a warrant for third degree grand larceny, such charges stemming from an accusation that Goldberg sold products destined for use by the professional athletes he represented.
Goldberg represented at various times Saul Raisin, Bjorn Andersson, Paul Fritzsche, Bryan Rhodes, among others.
Goldberg has also been accused by several followers of Slowtwitch.com of sales that were not consummated by the transfer of the purchased product to the buying customer.
Goldberg was taken into custody Friday, August 6, by special agents for Homeland Security and NYPD. He was arraigned by a judge in the NY court system.

2008 - The Year In Review
In 2008, triathlon may or may not have had its best moments in history, but it had two very different epic performances at the Olympics, giants retired and passed from the scene, youth and age shined bright. Plus there were moments of comedy and perfidy as well. 1.11.09
