TheTurin Shroud Contradicts the Gospels

So, it is well known that the 'blood-stains' on the Shroud suggest that the person who was crucified had nails driven through his wrists, not his hands.

And it has been decided that this is in fact the most likely historical way in which crucifixion would have happened (the palms of the hands would just tear from the weight of the body, and so nails driven through then would be no good).

But in the passage after the Resurrection relating to Doubting Thomas, Thomas and the other disciples examing the wounds in Christ's side and HANDS, not his wrists. So has the Bible got it wrong, or has the Shroud?
