There are many 'sugars' that don't taste 'sweet.' That's why it's important to try to find a sports drink that works best, flavor-wise, for your taste. Most use glucose or dextrose because it's so fast acting, but you can find fructose and maltose drinks too, and they don't taste so sugary.
Time to go out and explore my world.
