Normally, reference is made privately. When employers talk to the references that you provide, those are private conversations between the employer and your reference. You would likely have better luck asking your reference what s/he has told the prospective employer instead. As a general rule, the reference you provide is likely to provide "good" details about you. If you are rejected nonetheless, why would you suspect your reference(s) sabotage you, other than that you're just not good enough for the job, or that the interviewer(s) just don't like your face?
