Nonexistence conjecture for lens space knots in oppositely oriented Brieskorn spheres

Let Σ(p,q,r)\Sigma(p,q,r) be a Brieskorn homology sphere with its usual orientation, and let Σ(p,q,r)-\Sigma(p,q,r) denote the same manifold with the opposite orientation. Let Kp,kK_{p,k} denote a parameterized lens space knot. Nonexistence conjecture. The oppositely oriented Brieskorn homology sphere Σ(p,q,r)-\Sigma(p,q,r) contains no Kp,kK_{p,k}. The source says this is an analogue of a previously cited result and that it can be checked for the examples in the paper, but does not state that it has been proved in general.
