The middle-weight conjecture for three-weight codes

Let CC be an [n,(k1,k2)][n,(k_1,k_2)] 33-weight code with dual minimum distance d3d^\bot\ge 3. Let its nonzero weights satisfy

w1+w2+w3=3n,w1<w2<w3.w_1+w_2+w_3=3n,\qquad w_1<w_2<w_3.

Middle-weight conjecture. Then w2=nw_2=n.

The claim predicts that the middle nonzero weight of any such three-weight code equals the length. The supplied text does not indicate whether this conjecture has been proved or disproved.
