The material isn't blood, it's some material that might be blood cells, depending on interpretation. You can't carbon date individual cells. Simply not enough material to lift a 14-C date off of. The scientists who maintain that the material has recently been contaminated (not blood cells but rather fungal cells) would love to do exactly that. Finding modern 14-C would demonstrate that the samples have been contaminated.
How do you contaminate the sample if its locked up in solid fossil?
What we should find if 'your' theory is correct, is that there would be zero carbon 14.
We should have the test done either way.
