Not naturally. It was originally rolled out completely scent free and totally effective. It was a flop. They hired someone to analyse why this wonder product was floundering...because people need that Pavlovian feedback mechanism. They added a subtle scent and voila! Same reason toothpaste has a flavor. Same reason they synthesize engine noise.
I was a lacrosse player (also in Georgia) for many years and would carpool with several friends in my dad's MDX to practice. Do you have a rubber mat down in the back? How about a towel for the kids to sit on when they're sweaty and riding back? (works on leather very well).
The car stank to high heaven when we were in it, but when we took all our crap out the smell would go away after a minute or two with the window down. If you keep the sweat contained, it won't smell so bad.
Yes I have two of my own, football and lacrosse players. the lacrosse stuff stinks up everything, I run leather interiors just so I can wipe it down. If it really smells and nothing works , which is the case with lacrosse and hockey equipment and anything it touchs. The pads or now your carpet and seats have bacteria in them and that's what you smell. Think about the smell of an old sneaker that no matter what you do they still smell. You need to kill the bacteria, two options bleach or the gas of chlorine. A couple different brands out there star brite makes one I have used with success. Open it, close windows and doors let the gas kill the bacteria. Star rite- Removes mold, mildew or associated odor, as well as musty smells, food and smoke odor Choline Dioxide CLO2 Formula begins working immediately
Good luck.
I have seen where detailers use a steamer to knock out stuff like that (one that actually shoots steam, not a glorified shampooer) I have been wanting to get one myself. Theory is that the heat kills the bacteria causing the odor.
Another option (which is not as invasive) is an industrial Ozone generator. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JAP7388?keywords=ozone%20generator&qid=1443744300&ref_=sr_1_4&s=home-garden&sr=1-4
Aromatic Cedar planking! They sell it at home centers for lining closets and wardrobes and stuff. 
I would consider building a load floor out of cedar
