There was a fire in the 13th century that burned edges of the fabric, which was re-edged and hemmed. The mistake the original Carbon-14 testers made was reportedly uncovered when much older pollen was found on other parts of the cloth, and then follow-up tests on the fabric.

I could be convinced one way or the other, since the truth of the Gospel accounts does not rest on this one piece of physical evidence. However the image is impressive to many, including experts, as being amazingly detailed and well-preserved, of no known method of human fabrication, and showing the awful torture involved in Roman crucifixion.
