Three research labs, working independently in Arizona, England and Switzerland, release a report concluding that, based on carbon-dating, the Shroud of Turin was produced in the Middle Ages and therefore couldn’t be the burial cloak of Jesus Christ. Believers argue that the samples tested had been contaminated.
Yep, contaminated.

I have a plan for world peace that involves taking/creating religious artifacts, like the shroud of turin, and mixing them all up, and burying them in random places on the globe.
Then, orchestrate an archeological dig, and find these things together. The only viable conclusion is that all these people (Muslim, Hebrew, Christians) at one point lived together, and they were somewhere other than their respective "holy grounds."
Crazy? "You betcha". But I think it's crazy enough to work...
In all seriousness though, I never really bought into the shroud of Turin being real, and it doesn't surprise me that the legitimate research is being called contaminated. Christ himself could come down and say "That's not mine, fools.", and people still wouldn't believe it.
