The Gray–Theriault conjecture for the homotopy type of BWnBW_n

From papers

Let pp be a prime, let nn be a positive integer, and let rr be a positive integer. Set T2n=S2n+1{pr}T_{2n}=S^{2n+1}\{p^r\}, and let BWnBW_n be the space occurring in the EHP sequence for the Anick spaces. Write T2np1(p)T_{2np-1}(p) for the Anick space with parameter r=1r=1. Gray–Theriault conjecture. There is a homotopy equivalence

BWnΩT2np1(p).BW_n\simeq \Omega T_{2np-1}(p).

This was identified in the source as the only remaining unsettled conjecture from the earlier work on Anick spaces. It predicts an explicit loop-space model for BWnBW_n, but the supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
