Knocked down or bowled over by a nasty or disparaging comment from someone you thought you could trust, with damage to your reputation or prospects.
Here’s the image: Two or more friends are tossing light objects to one another, and you get used to catching them easily. But then your “friend” tosses you a heavy sandbag, propelled with some force. You try to catch it, but it’s way more than you expected, and it knocks you flat on your back. You feel like a fool for being knocked over and for trusting that person in the first place.

Example: I thought I was OK with him - I even thought we were friends - but then he sandbagged me with a nasty comment, in front of people who are important to me.

When you work in sales, you don't post your production till the next day or the following month when you're toward the end of the month, to get a head start on everyone else in your office.
Me: Sam, I got 4 deals sandbagged for next month, I'm gonna beat everyone next month.
Sam: sand-bagger, I'll still beat you in production.
Me: good luck trying to catch up to me dude.

My AP Calculus teacher sandbagged me in front of the whole class again because I turned in my homework unstapled. He made a 2 minute point about “me helping him for him to help me”

A car that purposely slows down (especially in the fast lane) to impede you from passing them either on the left or right. Cars often use this maneuver while "passing" tractor trailers and moving the same speed or slightly faster than the trailer to slight the driver (s) behind them.
Yeah I was trying to pass and came up behind this car and soon as I was about to pass, he started sandbagging me for 3 miles.
