I would think the reason is, the presenters aren't in a studio, but in an open area overlooking the stadium, therefore a lapel mic would pick up too much ambient sound (the crowd in the stadium).
The hand-held microphones have a foam outer sleeve to cut down on the noice and the presenter can hold it closer, and point it at, their mouths.
