Mr. Faber himself told me in person once that his former team mate abuses from substances and of course other members that we know as well.

Worth noting that Dillashaw voluntarily broke the news himself. Had he not done so, USADA would have waited until the whole process played out before publicly acknowledging. They are only doing so now because he commented first. Reminiscent of the Sean O’Malley story.
