Why did Lawyers for Britney Spears agree to a drug test?

The lawyers for Britney Spears should have never agreed to a drug test. As soon as ordered by the court, Britney’s coucil should have admitted to the judge that Britney would not pass a drug test. That would have been one less thing the court can use against her now! Any ideas?

Clearly the judge found credible evidence that she had been using/abusing drugs and that this placed the children at risk. When there is credible evidence (not just rumor/hearsay) the judge can order the tests in the best interest of the child. I’m not certain her lawyers “agreed” to it. She was compelled to follow the court’s order or risk the courts deciding that her refusal supported the claims and the children were best not in her custody.

Admission to the use would not have been in her best interest (remember..she had been to rehab, so a blatant admission of use AFTER rehab attempts demonstrates limited rehablitative potential.) The court order was probably used to determine if she was currently using or had used recently and whether her present condition warranted removing the children.
