The drinks that major sports teams use are designed to be exactly what is needed for that sport, and only contain sugar if nutritionists (and other real scientists) say it is needed, and then only in the amount needed. Different sports have different needs, and so will get different drinks (if there is enough money in the sport to pay scientists to design it).
The sports drinks you buy in the store share only the name/logo with the above drinks.
