It was done by Doyle himself.
In 1898 he published two short stories—“The Lost Special” and “The Man with the Watches”, where “an amateur reasoner of some celebrity” participates in solving a crime mystery and fails.
It was written after Doyle killed off Sherlock, so he is probably parodying the character—he was quite tired with him at the time.
