Gollum is the correct answer, but that is not the correct reasoning. Surely Gollum was not the only one who wanted to get rid of the Ring (nor Dori the only one who wanted to get rid of Bilbo
 )...

In that case, it could be many things. But the first that comes to my mind is that Dori was the one who carried Bilbo in the goblin tunnels, as did Gollum with the Ring for a long time.

Almost :D
Combine that with one of your or TM's previous guesses and you have it.

Well then maybe that they both dropped their load as they accidentally fell.

Well, Gollum did not accidentally fall... we are not told what happened to him after he got that little goblin.
But otherwise I suppose you meant that Gollum both carried and lost the Ring, as Dori both carried and "lost that burglar". We can also say it happened almost at the same place.

No... (TM, I can't see how that's combining Legate's guess and some of the earlier ones...
 )

Cross-posted with Legate
And no, you don't have it either, Legate.
Well, combine TM's first guess and the guess of Legate's I told you to combine with an earlier guess.

Okay, so how about that they both dropped their load in the presence of the goblins? But it was from a different side: Dori was chased by the goblins, while Gollum chased the goblins.
