I read the article and what they claim is impossible.

1. They could not have sampled anything adjacent to the samples actually c-14 tested. The shroud has been put away for years.

2. Rogers did not have any part of the c-14 sample to test. It was all destroyed in the c-14 testing.

3. The Raes sample that he allegedly had illegally was not adjacent to the c-14 test area. It was adjacent to the Ricci sample that the Vatican still has. If they would release the sample, we could settle this once and for all, but they won’t.

They never said they "sampled" the shroud again. The Shroud has been put away for years, but there are lots of samples still in the hands of researchers and in the possession of the Custodian of the Shroud. So your point is, again, pointless.

2. Rogers did not have any part of the c-14 sample to test. It was all destroyed in the c-14 testing.

Yes, he did. And, no, it wasn't.

Even your linked post about the samples relates how the C14 sample was trimmed BEFORE the cut sub-samples were sent to the labs. In addition, a portion of the sample that was not trimmed was retained as a control and for future testing. Rogers received some warp and woof threads from that piece.

3. The Raes sample that he allegedly had illegally was not adjacent to the c-14 test area. It was adjacent to the Ricci sample that the Vatican still has. If they would release the sample, we could settle this once and for all, but they won’t.

Rogers did not have the Raes sample "illegally." He was authorized to possess Shroud samples. It is my understanding that Msgr, Ricci, the Vatican Archivist, "plucked" a few threads from various areas of the Shroud and did not cut any samples other than the C14 sample.

You are making false assumptions that show you to be wrong about most of your assertions and mistaken about the significance of most of the rest.
