Controversy

In 1997 Goldberger admitted to the use of cocaine, and was given a six month ban from the Austrian Ski Association. As a result of that ban, in November 1997, he even declared he would, from that moment on, compete under the flag of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.[1] Yet, after reaching an agreement with the Austrian Ski Association, he continued competing for his native Austria.

Goldberger last appearance as a ski jumper was in holenkollen jan 2007 (26 place),Goldbergerger retired from the ski jumping circus on 29 May 2007 .
