A LEADING scientist and spokesman against the authenticity of the Turin Shroud has now concluded it could be the burial gown of Jesus.
In 1988 Ray Rogers was at the forefront of the carbon dating of the relic depicting a Christ-like image. It concluded the wrap was a medieval hoax.
Now, from beyond the grave, he has admitted the shroud is far older than results suggested — and could be the genuine article as many Christians claim.
Ray was a director of the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STRP) that concluded the 14ft-long linen cloth was fake.

But when new evidence revealed the study was flawed, the leading sceptic was forced to change his mind.
Ray, an expert chemist from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, said the 1988 tests were invalid because they were done on a repaired section of the shroud rather than the original linen.
Sadly, he died of cancer aged 78 in March 2005.
